I think backup methods are determined by your level of paranoia. For myself, I
use a dedicated backup hard drive and rsnapshot
http://rsnapshot.sourceforge.net for doing the grunt work. It could easily be
adapted to an offsite drive via the network, I used to do a laborious nightly
tar backup but rsnapshot is so much faster and less work for the host box that
it is no contest.
