A conceptually related question.

Has anyone tried backing up a Unix system from a Mac via netatalk? The
12gig DAT drives on the Mac, and the backup software there is much better,
but there is a question of how to access protected system files. I was
considering doing it just for the user-space files.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
