-A well designed backup system is a must for any reliable system. Hardware failures, software bugs or human mistakes can let you with your system down or with missing files. Here will cover two strategies: local and remote backups. In both cases will make incremental daily backups using rdiff-backup. Incremental daily backups let us restore the state on a given date while storing only the differences within days.
+A well designed backup system is a must for any reliable system. Hardware failures, software bugs or human mistakes can let you with your system down or with missing files.

-Remote backups are always a more secure choice because of being in a differente computer. A hardware or software error doesn't affect the backups integrity and as backups are pulled from the backup server, a security compromise in the main server wouldn't affect neither the backups integrity, that's why backup server shouldn't run any aditional service. Having to servers backup each other is definitely a very bad idea as a compromise in one server means compromise the other.

Will only cover local backups here because there are ongoing efforts to create an enterprise-level remote backup module for eBox Platform.
