The Linux Zonbu computer comes with an online backup turned on by 
default. System files are copied to a remote server while you are 
using the computer

This is a problem if you are on a slow connection, and it backs up 
things it really doesn't need to (such as temporary files), but would 
be handy if something goes wrong. The user data, such as word 
processing files are separately stored in a web accessible online directory.

This approach is not without problems, one of which is if the user 
knows when to use the backup.
