  Currently, I take care of three websevers for a client. For backups I use
a fourth server elsewhere (I don't know where it's phycially located) that
uses rsync to backup all the sites on the three servers (nightly via
cron---once the initial backup is made, the nightly backup only takes about
10 minutes). We are expecting to get another server just for backups as
well.

        sites as well ... )
