[LUGSB] meeting report?

[JT]

Yeah I wanted to thank you IIya for a good talk.
I knew what rsync was, and how it only sent portions of files, but
didn't know how it did that, or how to use it.  I also did think
naively that it was an r-tool (...).

I have actually made progress on my closet server, and plan on using
it as a nice remote backup server using rsync for all the computers in
the house.  It makes sense.  I'll start out with something simple,
nothing scheduled or rotating, just a script that can run on demand to
back up /home and maybe /etc.
