Has anyone developed a backup strategy for this critter?  Our Aux 1.0 came
supplied on the drive, and we'd like to back it (or 1.1 if and when it...) such
that we have a bootable backup...but...if you can't get to unix because it is
crashed catastrophically, how in the heck are you goinng to be able to use cpio
or tars to get the bloody thing back?  What we would like to do is be able to
use the Tallgrass tape bup for the mac, as it is a nice inexpensive model that
works nicely with the mac os (better than the apple ver., I think...) but no
one at apple, tallgrass, etc., seems to have ever thought of backing up Aux
before....surely someone has a plan or at least has thought about it!
