Matt, Thanks. I have done this, before--usually to provide interim backups between offline backups...but some of the files in question can be 2-10GB for a single file. So disk space can get eaten up surprisingly quickly with snapshots hardlinked on the same filesystem. Plus, still have the problem of lack of offsite backups with that. But thank you for offering the suggestion.
