[MLB-WIRELESS] Data Recovery tools?

[Paul van den Bergen]

actually - backups count as my most common question I encounter when I'm
used as tech support - at work we use industrial strength solutions -Veritas
netbackup and multi-petabyte storage... kinda rather too much for home
solutions...

I have no backups at all myself and need to do something about that...

so... what backup solutions do people recommend?

for WinXP

for Vista

for Win 7

for Mac

and perhaps most important -
for Ubuntu....

that being the one I use....


for what it is worth - I have 2 identical 750GB drive spare on my machine -
was hoping to use LVM to make a mirrored drive that then gets important data
- but LVM is telling me I need 3 drives... I don't understand that....

My ideal situation for my home setup is to have that drive pair stripped or
similar as a hardware-redundant pair with auto recovery and then a removable
drive offsite backup...

for others I need a solution that does loal redundancy plus offsite backup -
preferably not internet based - it is usually bandwidth challenged
situations....
