Never replied to thus, uselessly. OK. The general talk for October is
fine, although it is very home-user aimed as I have tried to point out
in the abstract and is unlikely to be very enlightening for people of a
sysadminly bent. I won't be addressing good business backup practices at
all. (If someone wants to take a 10 minute chunk to give an overview of
that, I wouldn't object.)

Title: Precious precious data, keeping it safe the sane way

Abstract:

Your data is vulnerable to loss in all kinds of ways, from earthquakes
and invasions on down. Home users are most vulnerable to data loss
through user error, software failure and media failure. This talk will
outline good backup practices for Linux home users who are concerned
with keeping their email, homework, code, novel drafts and photos safe
for the long term. I will review various tools and approaches for
keeping your data safe from all three of user error, software failure
and media failure.
