I these backup programs seem to complicated for me. At work we just use tar for our archival backup (I can have a bare metal restore from tape of our main production server up in about 2 hours).
Also we use rsnapshot for hourly/daily/weekly/monthly snapshots of the whole filesystem (rsnapshot is very cool and simple too).
"It is therefore a matter of faith, on the part of the biologist, that biogenesis did occur and he can choose whatever method of biogenesis happens to suit him personally; the evidence of what did happen is not available."--*G.A. Kerkut, Implications of Evolution (1960), p. 150.
"The more one studies paleontology, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone . . exactly the same sort of faith which it is necessary to have when one encounters the great mysteries of religion."--*Louis Trenchard More, quoted in Science and the Two-tailed Dinosaur, p. 33.
"Our theory of evolution has become . . one which cannot be refuted by any possible observations. Every conceivable observation can be fitted into it . . No one can think of ways in which to test it. Ideas wither without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have attained currency far beyond their validity. They have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training."--*L.C. Birch and *P. Ehrlich, Nature, April 22, 1967.
"Today the tables are turned. The modified, but still characteristically Darwinian theory has itself become an orthodoxy, preached by its adherents with religious fervor, and doubted, they feel, only by a few muddlers imperfect in scientific faith."--*M. Grene, Faith of Darwinism," Encounter, November 1959, p. 49.
rsnapshot (http://freshmeat.net/projects/rsnapshot/) packages mike rubels concept into an easy to use package, I found some red-hat rpms somewhere too.. it works great on our server
Ogg files are pretty big with game companys.
I think it is because they dont have to pay anyone tax to have good compressed sound files supporting the game.
OK so let's say great great great grandfather then. There are no eye-witnesses to his existence now are there?
Yeah now we are down to second and third-hand accounts. Mind you if you tryed to tell me about my great great great grandfather then I probably wouldn t believe you anyway:)
Ah, but the important question is who's objection is correct? After all, I'm sure flat-earthers (if they truly exist) answer their objector's objections to. That doesn't invalidate those objections. OK the word 'objection' is starting to sound odd now. I think I'll stop writing.
True, I guess the point is that everyones got an objection or counter and just saying that doesnt prove anything.
All I am saying is that there is a fundamental difference between the order in Snowflakes, sand dunes, tornadoes, stalactites, graded river beds, and lightning as opposed to DNA, programming code, literature and so on. The problem here I believe is that you dont want to admit that.
No, what he said is that the tree decreases in entropy (a local decrease), but the heat reradiated into the environment increases the overall entropy in the entire universe.
So the universe has (for billions of years) been increasing in overall entropy... The universe was at a less entropic state when it was "created" then it is now?
OK, a better example is quoted here: "Order from disorder is common in nonliving systems, too. Snowflakes, sand dunes, tornadoes, stalactites, graded river beds, and lightning are just a few examples of order coming from disorder in nature; none require an intelligent program to achieve that order. In any nontrivial system with lots of energy flowing through it, you are almost certain to find order arising somewhere in the system."
That order is not "real" information.
The difference between dna and a snowflake is like the difference between "abcabcabcabcabc" and "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".

correct me if im wrong but...

Is Dirvish easy to install/administer?
We are a pretty small company and our policy is if it should be backed up then it should be hosted on the server.

I'm convinced he may be right.
...what a prediction.
you mean you havent seen vigor?

Ahh that is funny. Cheers
Maybe he used tinyurl so the punchline would not be revealed (mozilla.jpg)
the legend of goatse has made me too afraid to visit links such as these.. I guess Ill never get the joke
And I thought it was Oprah (the television host). Next thing you know slashdot will have a 'spirit' (mind and body?) section. Geesh
Muh-Muh-Muh-Monster Joke!!!!! Weee! I love these

Why was this posted now, instead of in a few weeks when there's some actual content?
because in a few weeks one will have finally managed to install freebsd?
dude! url?
Wait a second.. I like Mr Pink!!

That sounds like creation to me :)
