  Harumph! That's no fun. So, ... what are folks to do who need to implement
a low-cost backup strategy on a limited budget?

  Well, I've heard that some folks dislike Xfce because they have bad
memories of working on systems with cde as the window manager. And I dislike
the "look-n'-feel" of winduhs, which is one reason I don't run KDE or Gnome.
But, that then limits modern day linux users to cpio, tar and commercial
products then. No?

Thanks,

Rich
