How many home users even know how to do daily backups? How many have the technology? Of course my coworkers might argue I am not the normal user but I have daily backup of my wife's computer. One of our admins here showed me how to do it with rsync and it was very easy. Thanks for reminding me that I was supposed to help my father set that up on his computer.
I've got 4 dead DLT drives in the basement. I just suffered the near total loss of the drive that was holding my backups (the drive isn't even recognised by the system any more). for me that isn't a problem because I have two identical backup drives and use rsync for those too. The nightly order is backup1 > backup2 then wife's pc > backup1
small segment of the desktops out there. As the desktop market grows, the need will likely grow as well. That makes me wonder if Linux ever really catches on in the desktop market, would the virus issue become as serious as it is for Windows? I have heard plenty of arguments that Linux is much safer but I often wonder if it is safer only because it isn't mainstream enough to interest the virus writers.
