there's been plenty of very good advice given on bacula... thanks everyone!
 so, on a slightly different slant...

I don't know how your servers are used/managed... fwiw, I've been trying to
move towards segregating configuration (/etc , crontabs,etc) from software (rpm
-qa as someone suggested), from data (ie, user generated files, DBs,etc).

If you think of it this way, configuration is managed via Puppet (and you only
need to backup Puppet), software is managed via, say, Kickstart (and you only
backup your kickstart data), and then you worry about your 'non-manageable
data'.

just my $0.02 :)
