Subject: Mirroring Backup Server?

Has anyone ever heard of a backup server system that works in two or
more locations where the backup server in location 1 will back up all
the systems there (desktops and servers) and the backup server in
location 2 will do the same for its location. The two servers should
also back each other up, so if one office burns down, we'll have an
off-site backup elsewhere.

Right now desktops are primarily Windows XP, with a few *nix boxen,
servers are a mix of *nix and Windows, so I don't think Microsoft makes
a solution that will work.

For legal reasons we don't want to use a third party like Mozy,
Carbonite, or Amazon S3; since we have multiple locations, why not use
them for our offsite backups?

Total number of workstations is 25-30 in primary office, 10 in satellite
offices; when we're done, we will probably have 1 Windows or SAMBA
file-and- print server in each satellite office plus several in primary
office. Not sure if we're going with Exchange Server for our mail server
or something FLOSS.

Please don't suggest BackupPC, although it would work perfectly for an
in-house solution, its reliance on hard links means it's not feasible to
use rsync to mirror it to an offsite location.
