    11== How do I setup a backup account on May First/People Link? ==
    22
    3 If you are running a linux backup system and you'd like an offsite server to back your data up to, you can use the May First/People Link shared backup server. If you are using an OS X server, you will not be able to use these directions. You will be able to do backups using rsync (with: [http://www.quesera.com/reynhout/misc/rsync+hfsmode/ rsync+hfsmode]), however, rdiff-backup uses the rsync libraries, it does not call rsync directly. So getting the proper HFS file system support will require using rsync+hfsmode directly). If you are using Windows, we'd strongly encourage you to setup a linux file server prior to trying any type of automated backup system.

    55Having said that...You are free to use whatever backup software you like, provided that it can copy files via ssh using an ssh public/private key pair.
