Thanks for that script Ralf!
I use a similar one but it's far less advanced. As an answer to the hole
"cloud" backup thing: do not underestimate the power beheld in your old
machines: they make perfect little servers to back things up on within your
LAN using scp. :)

If like me, any of you live in a wealthy country, home to consuming
fruitzombies, with enough "environmental consciousness" to separate
electronic waste from organic trash, i advise you to regularly check the
garbage deposit of your (or anyone else's) building for abandoned computers
that suits this task perfectly.[/satire_kopimist]
