[ale] File server syncronization

[Brian W. Neu]

I just found rsnapshot a few weeks ago, which is rsync based, though I
haven't implemented it.  It does have the ability to use LVM snapshots,
which are somewhat nice and somewhat frustrating.  If your remote server
needs to double up as an archiving server, it might be something to
consider.
