well, last I checked (a while ago) there was a backup cronjob that 
dumped the database and backed public_html and the yog userfiles and 
tar'ed it up and named it, etc. but I don't know if that's still 
there. If it isn't working, good thing I've made some improvements 
to the stability of my system, got it on an APC surge protector, 
still mirrored raid array, and that's about all I have. It's going 
strong for 22days again and /var hasn't filled up, so that's nice!

on a side note, I just got a macbook pro that I'm working on 
tribooting so I will be able to start doing dev work on all of 
those, and I'm off work for the next two weeks :) see you guys on irc
