The best solution is automatic backup...Exabyte is available for about
$4000 and will backup 2.3 Gb on an 8mm video tape. That and a cron job
every day should catch things.

Alternatively, you can get the Epoch Infinite Storage Server. It costs
alot, but if you really want automatic backup, that's the way to go for a
large (5Gb+ total disk space) installation.
