How about these: *Test* your backups from time to time. Restore an entire machine (on spare hardware!) to make sure you can. It's easy to say 'we take daily backups', but not nearly as easy to take those daily backups and make them into a running system.

Wow, never heard that before, that's a great pun. Anyway, I am a fan of VxVM / FS. I heard somewhere that it may be open sourced; I hope this is true even if it sounds somewhat unlikely. VxFS on *BSD would be good stuff.
