Not RMS mirrors, just a "shoot from the hip" estimate of how much of our SF
content is actually archived off-site.  I figure it's some irrational number
between 1/2 and 1, hence the above.  :)

<drool>  The closest I come is a couple DLT drives, and I don't have space
to be backing up my personal servers.  Plus, I don't know if they've been
through the "coffee test", although I've never had problems with the tapes
(unlike DAT, Exabyte, Qic, etc).

This would be a good thing IMHO.  I'm going to try to put up a live mirror,
but until I personally buy a DLT 4000 or 8000, or someone sees fit to give
me a decent tape drive (xmas present hint! :-), I won't be doing a tape
rotation (although I do have all online drives mirrored or raided).

I grabbed the leaf project directory last night...it's about 1.5 Gig.  I
have some of the SQL backups Mike runs, so I should be able to re-build the
mySQL database and get our phpwebsite online.

Anyone know offhand how to backup the CVS archive or the SF site content?
Does SF still have a freely available version of their site software?  I
know "in the old days" of a year or two ago, you could grab the SF code and
create your own SF site...anyone think this level of mirroring is necessary,
or is the project directory, website, and CVS data enough?

Anything else I'm missing?
