Hello,
  Its probably too wacky but has anyone tried setting up DRDB
(http://www.drbd.org/) or similar combined with disks instead of tapes
to create a simultaneous offsite backup?

From the DRDB site: DRDB can be seen as 'Network RAID 1.'

A colleague and I are thinking of getting two large RAID arrays
keeping one in his machine room and one in mine in different
buildings.  Then split them in two with DRDB running in pairs on the
four partitions.

Is there another device in Amanda to do the same thing?

Thanks,

Owen.
