...to not post unhelpful "shoulda made a backup" posts without at least 
giving some information, perhaps an URL, to the program that they might 
use.  Otherwise it might seem like a bit of pointing and gloating.

You moved all your clients to the Brussels airport ;-?

If you're asking for my recommendation for a backup program, that's 
fine, and I'm happy to give it.  But as you were trying to offer 
helpful advice as to what they might do differently in the future, I am 
also suggesting that next time you might want to take a few seconds and 
give them something that might be constructive.

Since you didn't even give an URL for the program you suggested, I 
assume you meant http://www.tolisgroup.com (where I was able to 
determine that the program is a commercial one, but was not able to 
find something like, say, a price-list).

Since you asked, I'd suggest rsyncx which is free and open source.  It 
has a GUI and command-line version.
