There's a daily job to make a PostgreSQL dump plus a "hotcopy" of the
various Trac projects on the "tracsvn.osgeo.osuosl.org" host. This has
been set up by Christopher Schmidt, as far as I can tell.

Additionaly, there's a system backup of the "backup.osgeo.osuosl.org"
machine.

According to the "Final Plan /  osgeo3 & osgeo4" section on this Wiki
page:

  http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Transition_Plan_2010

I sense there are the following machines (VM's):

  wiki.osgeo.osuosl.org
  secure.osgeo.osuosl.org
  web.osgeo.osuosl.org
  tracsvn.osgeo.osuosl.org
  webextra.osgeo.osuosl.org
  backup.osgeo.osuosl.org
  qgis.osgeo.osuosl.org
  projects.osgeo.osuosl.org
  adhoc.osgeo.osuosl.org

....  at least there are DNS entries and I was able to log into all of
them. So far there's no DNS entry for this one:

  mail.osgeo.osuosl.org

I'm about to leave for vacation tomorrow, but since I'm the one who's
currently maintaining the Bacula setup, I'll try to make sure to
include the /etc/ - at minimum - of all the above machines into the
backup cycle, before I leave.

I won't have any network access during vacation and I expect to be back
here on August 20th.

Cheers,
	Martin.
