Re: [BLUG] looking for (linux friendly) offsite backup options

I am using Amazon S3 with a Jungledisk client on both my Ubuntu laptop
and my wife's iBook. There are other solutions, but JD is fast, simple
and cheap. What I like the best is that the backup files are browsable
and easily recovered individually if you set it up that way. You also
get an on-line drive so it was easy to create a combination archiving
and backup solution.
