Yeah Im not sure either... whats your email?

I setup a backup system for a lawyer last year. Its basically a cron job that runs a script every night. It uses duplicity + gpg and stores everything on amazon s3. Its incredibly cheap. I store 6 months of revisions, with a full backup on the first weekend of every month, then incrementals after that. I perform regular restores and run a big md5sum job to ensure that the restores are working. I havent automated that stage of it yet, but so far so good. I'd be happy to send you the scripts if you want. PM me if youre interested.

Yeah ive been running cacti and nagios for a year now and Nagios seems a little superior to this monitoring prog. The grapher is just an RRD poller, same as cacti it seems. Have you tried cacti or nagios as well?
