Really?  I know people who have been using it for *years*.

I'll probably end up doing an rsync nightly between chip (my SB1K here)
and ohno, basically making a copy of everything on chip - once I get the
initial copy done, nightlys will just be incrementals.  Then, just dump
to local tape every couple of days.  That way I dont even have to take
the tape drive downtown to the co-lo.
