Whats wrong with backup programs such as Retrospect?
Retrospect Backup solves the off-site storage, multiple versions, exporting and cross-platform issues of backup. The problem with backup programs is: they are complex; they are a hassle; they usually are run only once per day at most and we usually forget to run them! This is fine for IT departments, but not individuals or small groups. Each time a user puts a project away in DocHaven they are making a new version backup without even knowing it! The buttons to take out, put away, create new and find are non-technical – more akin to a library. For larger sites it is recommended that a utility such as Retrospect be used to backup the MySQL and FTP servers and store these files offsite.
