It's hard to reconcile a good backup server with hardware that isn't
100% available. Have you considered using a 3rd box for the backup
operation so it can run all the time if you consider a start/stop
operation so problematic? About any old PC that can run linux will work
and it is cheap to add a big internal drive.
