[Semibug] Recommend online backup service ?

[Jonathan Drews]

Mike:

 This is really good advice. I have no problems with OpenBSD. It is Linux
that is the problem. Dump and Restore is broken on my Ubuntu Linux desktops.
The other options rsync, borgbackup and *.tar.gz are not very good. The main 
reason I use Dump and restore is because Evi Nemeth said that is the proper 
way to do backups:

So in the absence of dump and restore, Tarsnap will do.
