What do you guys think of DRBD as a solution to this?

Benefits:
- fast synchronization
- backup server failover possible
- no changes to BackupPC itself or the backup strategy

Caveats:
- the very same device parameters on both servers: identical file system
and size etc.
- if not on a cluster file system, only one side gets to read/modify the
data
