Hi,

Oh yes, I tried this as well. Works only if your connection to the
remote site is fast enough. Otherwise you'd need to purchase the drdb
proxy for some hundred bucks.

And additionally: drdb is not a backup, it's a "remote RAID" so if
something breaks the original filesystem for whatever reason, the drbd
mirror is broken, too.
At least you'd need to mirror the drbd image to an usb disk or so...but
then the only advantage of drbd would be to skip the manual bytes
transfer- again, only possible if the line is fast enough.
