My "goal" is to backup over the Internet by synchronizing my work
machines to the backup machine(s). Bandwidth is very limiting when
you're transferring gigabytes over the Internet, hence my choice of
synchronizing rather than doing full backups. I haven't found the
software to do this yet but I've sketched out my requirements in case I
end up writing it myself.

What I want is for each of my backup drives to be an exact copy of the
original drives, so if I lose a machine ("theft") I can just drive to
the offsite location, pull the drives, stick them in a new cabinet, and
boot. A few driver installs to match the new machine's hardware and I'm
up and running.
