I'll look into that, though I'd be concerned regards file locking and

> You would need a PBS to read from the external drive in case of a on-site disaster. Something like that might be simlar to what you do now, except that you need to run a PBS somewhere on-site (possibly in a VM or CT).

Actually running it in a VM now for testing!
