Tech stuff:
Backups, etc…experiences with Mirra
Pros:
Easy to setup
Easy to get multiple machines backed up
Neutrals:
Secure Internet-based access to backups
Cons:
Can’t seem to do remote backups (all machines to back up need to be on same network)
Errata: The sizes of available Mirra boxes are 160, 256, and 400GB, not MB, as mistakenly stated in the podcast. D’oh.
