Incase you haven't noticed I am trying to keep this on topic so Stefan can read this easily, but I guess your just going to make me say this .
I'm not necessarily looking for that. Your posts just seem to indicate you do not acknowledge what I'm saying, i.e. you are only reading what you want to read.

This idea is worthless mainly because the manager already has the files on his or her own harddrive. This idea will be a waste of bandwidth since you'll get managers doing backups every night. Plus it opens the door for DoS-like attacks from the anti-graal community should they get a server of thier own or "capture" one from an unexperienced manager. They can sit there and click <backup> until they knock the actual server machince offline. Its not a good idea nor is it efficient. Managers should already posses all the files pertaining to thier server in the event of any kind of data loss. That is just plain common sense.
