Another piece of this puzzle is that a network that isn't sufficient
for making remote backups probably isn't going to work for restores
either. I've found that a UPS truck has a remarkable amount of
bandwidth when you only need it occasionally - like shipping your
initial fulls off to a location that can only manage the subsequent
rsync runs.
