I run my own private cloud :-)
I lease cheap server slices from Linode and Hurricane Electric (at
geographically distributed data centers) and have clones of all my
Fossil repositories on each. They automatically sync with one another
using a cron job.
Here at the office, we have many machines, which all serve as
additional local backups by periodically running "fossil all pull".
If you want to make a guaranteed-consistent backup copy of a
repository fail named "x.fossil" you can run the following command:
fossil sql -R x.fossil ".backup x.bu"
Then, since nobody is using x.bu, it can be backed up using a generic
backup mechanism without having to worry about the backup catching it
in the middle of a transaction, and thus in an inconsistent state.
