That's a somewhat different scenario.  Backuppc and other hardlink 
backup tools maintain a history with snapshot copies at configurable 
intervals so you can restore things even if you don't notice a problem 
until later.  DRBD is a live replication of only the current contents. 
If, for example, someone accidentally deletes your source code 
repository or an important database, it would be gone immediately on the 
copy too.
