[clue] CrashPlan for Backups?

[Jeremy Slade]

I've really liked using dirvish (http://www.dirvish.org/) for backing up 
my home network to USB drives. I'm surprised it seems to have been 
abandoned.

I would like an off-site backup as well, and CrashPlan looks interesting 
for that. My main concern is security -- I don't want a family member to 
be able to restore backups of root-owned files from the linux server 
(e.g. /etc/fetchmailrc) onto one of the PC's, bypassing all my internal 
security. Other cross-platform services that I've tried allowed backups 
from multiple machines, but didn't firewall them from each other.
