It's not off topic at all.

There have been a number of discussions and approaches to trying to keep 
clients backed up, especially laptops.

Backuppc works, but backing the resulting fileserver tree up to tape is 
problematic as it's constantly updating files (mtime or hardlink counts) 
which otherwise wouldn't need to be hit.

A coherent approach to this issue is really needed. It's been on my mind 
for some time as I have a large stack of windows desktops and laptops 
which need attention - especially laptops as they get dropped or stolen 
far more often than any other kind of machine.
