Another one! :-)

That's why I like the WD MBWE, accessible Linux in it so you can easily install rsync and rdiff-backup etc. without serious hacking.
Chris, care to expand on this please? Currently as backup for ourselvs and clients I have a couple of PCs with lots of disks in, RAID-1 one as backup and the other as the backup's backup. My electricity bill here is massive, over £500 a month, and I'm looking at ways to reduce it significantly. Investment in low-power modern kit seems the only way, so I'm very interested in what you said above as we use rdiff-backup here...
Cheers, Laurie.
