Once every week, that is ;)
Apart from this, it would be trivial for me to rsync the entire cvs tree
with another server as often as is desired. This other server is located
in the faculty's server room (which is located in another builing). I'm
not root on that machine, but I have plenty of disc quota.

I copied the cvs repository from square to this box for testing. The
CVSROOT is matilda.phys.uu.nl:/var/cvs/freesci. Use your normal
username/password to connect (both pserver and ssh should work fine).
Write access is enabled, but please note that this repository is for
testing only, and it will be discarded afterwards.

I just started as a graduate student here, and my position will last
until september 2006. So the box (or maybe another one, when it gets
replaced) will be available for the next 4 years, at least.
