[cobalt-users] RAQ backup via Maintenance | Backup

How does the RAQ schedule the backups you can schedule from the GUI - ie, the once in Admin | Maintenance | Backup  ??

I'm currently building a backup machine to sit on the network along site the servers in one colocation, but until I get it installed (drives on the way) - I've been backing up machines to each other...

ie, Server1 backs up to server2, server 2 to server 3 , server 3 to server 4 and server 4 to server 1

Now that's OK... ish... sortta - but I'd like to schedule it to copy the backup files from each machine to each other - ie, backup all files to say, server 1, then replicate the backups across 2, 3 and 4.  While I know it's a bit wasteful of bandwidth, I don't want to run the risk of losing a machine and all my backups for a particular machine.

I'm only backing up config data - so all user files are ignored in this particular backup set, which keeps the size of the transfer reasonable.
