'Real' men write their own backup scripts.

As far as I can tell, commercial backup software seems to be designed for
windows admins that have a co-dependent, love/hate relationship, with their
software.  If it weren't 'crapstruck', then it would not feel like home.

I suggest you check out the rsync, tar, and bash packages...
