It should even be good enough as a test environment if I send enough time o the setups, lol.
In terms of backups, I actually use a Time Machine for my laptop backups, but for some server files I use a simple rsync script (very effective) to backup files from servers to local backup disks. Not flash, but it works well, and is very reliable.
