I am doing back-ups of all of my store stuff via NFS to another box at
midnight every night.

The upside is that this is going on to 2 totally different computers.
If one fails, I can quickly throw the other one on line with very
little loss.
The downside is that both computers are about 10 feet apart. A
fire/bomb/vandalism would take them both out.
