I am using Duplicity to automate off-site backups. What I wasn't doing before - checking integrity of remote backup. Due nature of backing up to remote location, it quite possible to have issues like half uploaded files, corrupted files, missing files, etc. I wanted to have something in place to check backup right after backup procedure is finished and email me if there are any differences.

After the disaster with the Ukraine hosting data center hosting.ua I started thinking about backup options for my own dedicated server that I use to host yepcorp.com and dozens of my other projects and a few clients' sites. So far it has been a plain backup on the second drive, but this accident showed that even having a hosting company do backups in the same building is not really a safe solution.
