<br>
</div>Brackup will backup to local disk, or remotely to ftp, sftp, Amazon S3, or<br>
Rackspace CloudFiles targets/servers. So yes, on a lan you can backup over<br>
ftp or sftp just fine.<br>
<br>
Re docs, install brackup, 'man Brackup::Manual::Overview'. I've also written<br>
a few blog posts on it: <a href="http://www.openfusion.net/tags/brackup" target="_blank">http://www.openfusion.net/tags/brackup</a>.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
