No! Start backing up now! Seriously, any installation without a
backup procedure is just asking for it. The standard Unix backup
software (dump, restore) is one way to get started. Amanda is
another. BRU is yet another.
Even Micro$oft Windoze comes with a backup program; the fact that they
expect you to backup to a hundred or so floppies is absurd. But,
that's the PC market!
