[Sheflug] Networked backup

[José Luis Gómez Dans <nospam [at] sheffield.ac.uk>]

Hi,
	Since we now have an (ever) growing collection of Linux/BSD
servers in the lab, I thought it'd be nice to have some sort of
networked backup facility, by which stuff is copied overnight to a host
in our network, stays on the harddrive of that host and some of that
stuff is actually backed up to a zip drive (the reason for this is that
I can't be bothered changing disks, and most of the other data is
already backed up in CDs in another room, being far too far to walk :D).

	Looking at debian packages, there's a certain afbackup that
seems to do the trick, it's got a server and a client, but it looks as
if it might be easier to print all the stuff out and type them in again
in case of falldown :-/

	Regards,
	José
