I saw the article and it was pretty informative.  I like the prospect of  
SafetyNet Pro, but it hasn't been released yet.  Hopefully a demo will be put  
on the archives...

One of my complaints about the article is that it didn't say if the "enhanced  
version of tar" used by SafetyNet is gnutar or if it is compatible with older  
tar formats.  This is important because we backup other platforms and must  
retain compatibility....
