I'm curious as to what people are using out there to backup their
systems.  In the unix world, tar seems to be king but I've got to tell
you, there doesn't seem to be anything slower either.  I have a 20 GB
tar backup I recently took and it takes over an hour just to find and
extract a single file.  There's got to be something better than that.
I'm talking about 2 or 3 different computers at home and I don't need
tape drives or elaborate off premise storage.  Is there something
better or faster I can use?  I've thought about zip but I thought that
had some draw-backs.  Is cpio any faster?

I'm open for ideas.  Thanks.
