Jeff, if there's anything I can do to help you test it, please let me
know (offlist if you prefer); I'd like to see this solution working.

In the meantime we do need a solution, even if not automated.

If we backup the RaQ550 by CMU, will we at least get all the files we
need (though not necessarily the database)?  And if so, will we be able
to relatively easily restore sites and email manually if/when necessary?

Otherwise I'm thinking we can back up the entire /home directory, but
I'm afraid that would be even harder to restore.

Any ideas?

Jeff
