word of warning - the pc suite backup is *NOT* very good for backing up! Dont get me wrong, i use pc suite all the time, but i found when backing up, especially if youve added your own location for example /Applications/* (even if you use the full real path, not the sym linked one) it creates the folder but doesnt copy the files inside the sub folders! It does this itermittently on different folders when use wilcards. I only realised this after I tried to find apps that i thought i had backed up to reinstall them manually via ssh. Much better to tar it yourself and copy this folder over to the pc as a copy of the backup.
