speaking of backup systems, does anyone have any experience with something
like Bacula (http://www.bacula.org/)

it claims to have a server-client arch, the server being run on
Linux/FreeBSD/Solaris and the client on all the above plus winbloze. I'm
just testing it... anyone who knows anything about it (or systems like
this)?
