[TriLUG] backup methodology

[Jason Tower]

depends on what you are backing up to: tape, second internal disk, remote 
server on lan, ftp/rsync site on wan, etc.  also depends on what the 
downtime/offline maximums are: overnight, an hour, five minutes, five 
seconds.  and finally how much data are we talking about: a couple of gigs or 
a couple hundred gigs?
