Branden, I've got to meet you. You have very strange sense of humor
that I like.
Uhhmmm... I don't know what sort of "backup device" you are
describing though. Are you goofing or do you have an old scsi tape
drive I can have?
The other option is to scp tarballs to klecker. I don't need to back
up everything there, but some stuff ought to be redundantified.
Will our home dirs there be backed up? How will that be handled?
Will the backup system used allow us to create a dotfile that says
which things are Ok to skip a backup of? How do I restore something
in case I goof?
