samba - Dec 2003 - Very Large Offsite Backup

I put a Samba server in small office (6 users) that has 1.5 Terabytes of storage
space.  They are unique in that they need the space because they do a lot with
video, but with the limited amount users I went with an IDE solution.  I am a
little worried about physical damage to the equipment and trying to come up with
some way of doing an offsite backup.  Their office is in a very industrial area.
I was thinking about clustering, but I was wondering how effective that would be
over the Internet.

Thanks for you help!

Have you taken a look at rsync?  rsync.samba.org

it can do lots of nifty things,  such as bandwidth limits,  diff 
backups,  etc.. 

take care,
