best backup solution

[Ranjan Maitra]

I can not speak for the "linux people" nor do I even know who they are,
but welcome to using linux. To answer your question partially, I find
rsync and a cron job (running 3 times a day) my preferred way of backing
up. 

What you back up depends on what you can not do without in the event of
a crash (my philosophy).

HTH,
Ranjan
