Bruce, Note: I've never tried this, and I'm making it up as I go. Others more informed than me may well kill the idea (Paul?).
Use a file based approach to managing your image data, and back up to git. That way you can recover to any point. New files are put on the file system and pushed into git. The downside to that approach is your history metadata is only stored in one place; your git backup. If your backup goes awol, you'll lose your PIT recovery feature. To overcome that you'd need a second git repo (meaning you'd have three copies of your images, not two which may well be a storage problem). Perhaps an alternative would be just to store the git metadata a second time, but I'm have no idea if that would be possible to do a full recovery from image files on disk and git metadata without the 'blobs' it uses. Someone who has some reasonable experience with git may be able to comment here. Just a thought, Tim (Paul, I hope no puppies have been slaughtered!)
