I attended the gathering on Calafou and one of the sessions was on backup. There is the idea of doing cross-server backups.  One tool that people use (we used it before) is backupninja. We are only using rsync on a cron job sending files to a VPS we have on riseup. If people are interested in looking at this I can do a skill share about it.

I will continue working on it. If anybody is interested in troubleshooting it with me please send me a message.
