I'm just starting to play with 2G free storage space at dropbox.com. So far, it looks like viable free offsite storage. Of course you can pay them for more storage if you want; I'm just thinking of using it more for daily/incremental backup for critical config data that I may want to retrieve

If this is true then I completely agree. While a cluster addresses both concerns of availability and performance, setting up for just availability is easier. In addition if one focuses on just availability one can perform certain tricks to allow for increased timeliness with catastrophic recovery

Alex you are 100% correct.  We do not have a performance concern at this time.  I think we could combine all our sites onto one server and we would be able to handle the load without any issue.  Availability and adequate backups are our main concern. We have two servers in our main data
