You can check the status of the last back up.

A nightly back-up is being done onto Larry Baltz's home server. This is one using the eMirror software running on Larry's Mandrake 10 Linux server. eMirror tracks the files it already had downloaded and only backs-up new and changed files and directories.

It would be a good idea to have someone else do a weekly back-up in addition to the one Larry is running (a back-up of the back-up).
