Subject: Re: [Hampshire] Backup solution - SDLT worth it?
Another alternative is to run a RAID setup on your server/primary
workstation and then backup using rsync to another box (effectively a
NAS device which understands rsync) which is in a remote location. This
may be on LAN, but in a separate location, or over the internet (in which
case, use SSH or VPN as well). Effectively using the backup only for
disaster recover, and not "whoops, I didn't mean to delete that file".

The real question, is whether to treat the backup as a mirror, or whether
to keep older versions of files for a period of time.
