Yeah, that's how I do it now. Seperate external HDs connected to each
Mac. BUt I can't search the backups "globally" that way. Plus, I was
interested in a backup *and* file server facility.
The more I think about it, the more I think it would be better to use
a Mac for this. I get native AppleTalk for backup and I get native
Spotlight for searching the backup...
I just thought a Linux solution would be faster.
