Thanks for all the replies (and confirmation Andy).
I'm not overly worried about Telehouse vanishing, so a "local" (to the
Bitfolk network) rsnapshot is ample for the present. If heave comes to
shove, I can always get a linux box somewhere else and rsnapshot both VPS'
to there. From what I've read rsnapshot isn't really intended for "bare
metal restore" any way.
Any how, I've installed rsnapshot and had a play (got the important data
synced now) and it's all installed/configured and completed in under 5
minutes (less than 5GB, so not so much...)
Kind regards
Murray Crane
