One small clarification on the disk space: You said that we have additional space on the repo. We have unused space in the repository, but we do not have unallocated space in the SAN storage. In order to implement a full repo backup as you described, we would need to either shrink the allocated
repo size by 1/2, or add twice as many disks as we currently have.

I was talking about using the unused space in the mounted volumes (aka the repo). Blabby rsync's it's 91 GB onto bashful (/srv/fossology/repository/ bashful/blabby), bashful rsync's it's 93 GB onto blabby. Happy and sneezy do the same. Shifty and dopey do the same. You end up with a duplicate repo in the storage we are currently have mounted.

So this is all using the same SAN storage? What is the point of the repo backup then? I'm guessing that we are using a raid level to support a single or double drive failure. Is that the case? What failure mode are you trying to protect from?
