Mandriva Gets Into the Cloud Backup Business

Mandriva, the Linux vendor, has announced “Click’n’Backup“, its own web based backup system. The service, reminiscent of the recently launched Canonical’s Ubuntu One, includes online secure storage space and a backup and restore tool. Unlike Ubuntu One, the backup and restore tools are available for non-Mandriva Linux systems, Windows and Mac OS X. The system can be configured for backup, or as a shared and synchronised file store, allowing users to keep files up to date on multiple machines.
