Gidday folks,
One way I can contribute my services to the project is in the form of
backup services. You tell me what files need to be backed up from
what servers, and it'll be done on the frequency required.
Restores can be arranged for those that have admin access. We can
keep a designated number of backups online, for immediate access.
Older backups will be stored offline.
Bacula is my tool of choice. Let me know how I can help.

Is the lack of response a verification that no help is required or
did I pick a bad time?

Probably timing, and people probably want to digest the idea a bit.
I'd not be detoured. I think it's an excellent idea. It raises
issues of availability of restoration and access to things that you
may not otherwise have access to though... (No idea if that's
actually the case, just pointing out a possibility).

I believe Marc is still in process of moving ... so until he's settled
in, I doubt very much is going to happen. It's an important issue though.

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 ...

Yes, it is a client. In the FreeBSD ports tree, it is
sysutuils/bacula-server.
I can just as easily mirror static data as opposed to backing up
dynamic data.

Once your current rush subsides, and there is slight pause, let me
know.
