I have a backup server in the same datacentre in a different independent 
network, different UPS, different building. Should be safe enough. The backup 
server is not publicly accessible, but can be accessed via rsync and ssh from 
hherb.com.

Currently it is not in use yet, I am about to write a cron script that will 
rsync all the variable data on hherb.com

I propose that I will create /home/backup/hourly.cfg, daily.cfg, weekly.cfg
These will be plain text files where users belonging to the "backup" group can 
simply add text lines with the files/directories they want to be backed up OR 
commands of which the output will be backed up (like pg_dump output)

If there is need to use it right now, send me a private email and I give you 
the access details.
