Hm, interesting idea, but there are two considerations preventing me
from doing this:
1. I do not have an offsite host with the same amount of disk
space available to me, nor the budget… hence I was looking at
keeping just snapshots of the latest backups so that in case of
e.g. a fire, I'd lose whatever's not on tape yet, but at least
I'd have a reasonably up-to-date snapshot.
2. Some external hosts that I backup to the main backup server are
behind expensive links and shovel a lot of data already. I'd
like to avoid doubling the traffic generated for backups. Hence
I was looking at sifting the latest backup off the backup
server.
But yes, doing it this way, and especially when using GnuPG to
protect the snapshots out there, it'll be hard to minimise the
amount of traffic generated between backup server and offsite
storage. Not a concern per se as traffic between those too is
virtually free and limitless, but it's just not necessary.
