As I have very little time to spend at home ( I bought a sun solaris in 2001... never had the time to finish the install...) I bought myself a small synology... after buying a laptop for my son almost 2 years ago and having to fight with it to get it working correctly regularly, I got my daughter a second hand ibook! You cant imagine the difference...
So much I told the next time my son complains, I will just format his disk and install a linux...
Since I managed to find a little time to get my little NAS configured and use it...( Yes I bought it some time last year and never been able to set it...).
well so far it backs up my old powerbook and daughter's ibook, Seeing what has to be done to get a PC backup - I decided to wait the next complain of my son...
I will follow your installation to see how well you do, so to compare with a commercial product ( what are you to suggest when one asks you...)
Bakunin is really a master...
