Good thoughts - but I'm now in the Boise area. :)
One other thing: We currently use backuppc for all our office
computers, which stores things in such a way that pushing the backup
archive off site is nearly impossible (lots of hard links, etc).
I've read that amanda can be set up to store a copy of the backups on
an AmazonS3 share. Does anyone here have any experience doing so?
Thanks!

Check with Center 7 in Orem - they have a new facility in place.
You could always do weekly snapshots of the systems and push those
off-site;
that way if anything fails, you don't have a total loss.

I say two routes:
1) For desktops, other backups, use mozy.com

the other takes over.

Hmm. Mozy looks kinda pricey, but may be the best solution for the
desktop
machines.
As far as servers go, my current servers are not colocated - we've
got a
rack here at the office in a server room (climate controlled,
failover
power, etc)
I suppose I could set up a colo to mirror, but that would be very
expensive
in this market - we checked into colo pricing before we built out
our server
room, and over the course of a year it was cheaper to build and
cool a
server room than it was to colo.
