I run a hosting company, I put my thoughts inline below.

One of the easiest is to setup an amazon s3 and use s3cmd to sync directories from your server to your s3 bucket on a cron. If you have a database, do a nightly dump that then gets synced. To make the "what's being backed up?" question easy to answer you can make a /BACKUP directory and symlink anything that needs to be backed up into that directory. distribution upgrade:: > Its a shame but cinelerra runs on unmaintained lenny.

But my preference is ubuntu. No matter what, I'd definitely upgrade to one of the latest stable versions of whatever distro you use and always keep it upgraded. Sometimes it's good to wait a month or so after a new release comes out so that someone else pays the price for early upgrade, but I've found with ubuntu that upgrading when it's released hasn't caused me any issues. > > mailinglist migration:: > We run our own mailinglist server, but the cinelerra > mailinglist is still served by linpro/skolelinux. eventually > the ML could be migrated to our server. > my cpanel comes with mailman, so that's what I use for default list mgmt.
