Hey

We're using backuppc at work to backup everyone's workstations.
Mainly due to the ease with which individual users can manage their own 
backups and can handle restores themselves.
Nice dedup when using rsync too, but works just as well with regular 
(samba/windows) shares, and it doesn't really need too much resources to 
run on.

Using it at home for the same reasons. It only works for backup to 
disk/shares though. :)

Kind regards,
Jeremy
