Hmm,
running netatalk assumes that there is a Macintosh in the network.
What about retrospect from dantz? I've tried it here and it looks
good to me. I'm storing to a DAT-Drive at ~150MB/min.
I can use my mac - and in any circumstance Im not in the office,
someone else can handle a backup or restore, 'cause everybody can handle
the program.
