Speaking of Retrospect: we've got several mac and windows desktops and
a few linux servers. Presently, our backup scheme is for the windows users
to use a samba home directory with their "my documents" on the network,
and the mac users copy stuff to be backed up over to a G4 with a DVD-RAM.
The mac users are backed up using Retrospect, and the windows/linux
filesystems are manually copied over to a seperate DVD-RAM.

I was recently looking at MacOnLinux with LinuxPPC, and thought that it would
be great to be able to stick LinuxPPC on the G4 and use something like Arkeia
(or a script of my own doing, perhaps) to backup the linux machines (and thus
the windows machines), while running Retrospect under MOL for the mac people,
since the Mac is better at backing up the macs than netatalk is (for now).

Anyway, do any of you know if Retrospect will work OK under MOL, and how
well it works? I know this is drifting off of netatalk by a wide margin,
but it's kinda part of this thread... :)

Thanks.
