And I suppose I should have said - my servers are RAID5 or 6, and also 
backed up off-site with an incremental backup every few days, full backups 
every two weeks, and it saves backups for a month or two.

If there was a way for me to get an ssh/rsync account to where the data is 
stored, then I wouldn't have to have the "extra" copy stored up on the 
web, but just kept on my backup system, which maybe would be nicer, but 
either way is okay with me.
