We have something setup here (on a smaller scale) that might be
useful. Our main file server rsync's with our backup server every

data changes between each sync, it is fairly fast (approx 5 minutes
with no noticable slowdown for the clients) the backup server can
then take as long as it likes to write to tape/etc without affecting
the main server.
How well does this work on a live filesystem?
Are collisions handled gracefully? For example, what happens when a file
is in the process of being rsynced at the exact moment it is in the
process of being written to?
