I'd love to get a copy of them.
The biggest problem I see is the machine in question has been running for
~2 years, and has so much crap on it it's not funny. Despite being a
lowly DX33 with 20MB RAM, at stages through its life it's run pretty much
every type of server imaginable, and still runs mail and a number of
mailing lists from it.
Ahh well, sounds like it's time to bite the bullet, and test how well the
backups work :)
