What is needed on the vServer side of things?  A client, I assume?  And 
how much data is it safe to backup?  postgresql.org is up to 24G in size, 
and growing ... :)

We're in the process of setting up a full backup to a remote server *just 
in case*, but that will include *all* files, so that we could fail over as 
required ... so I'm not sure whether or not there would be a benefit to 
'per file backups', but I'm not against it either if others here feel that 
this would help ...
