Thanks for that suggestion. Right now I have a script that I used on
several machines that basically runs at around 5am (depending on what
other cronjobs are scheduled) that tarzip the datafolders, then move
the archives into a USB HDD. The clients swap out that drive every few
days or weeks (depending on who) when the script sends an email alert
that it's full.

But a proper software meant to do that sounds like a better idea :D
