   I create a list of packages installed on my system and back that up long with   
   my sbbs directory on a daily basis using burp backup. My backup server is on   
   another continent. I keep 7 days, then a couple of monthly backups, though   
   that's really overkill, I have the space for it.   
      
   If the server is lost, it's very easy to recreate, install burp, pull the   
   package list and install the packages and restore the BBS. The entire backup   
   is 26gb including file areas.
