I lost a hard drive yesterday. I was able to restore from a backup, but the backup was three weeks old. 

Affected systems are: 
- zimbra.thegeek.nu 
- zimbra.sofree.us 
- mailman.thegeek.nu 
- fishes.sofree.us 

My plan is to configure daily backups today. 

There's a funny story here about a failing hard drive locking up the system that I had *just* setup backups on, and me diagnosing it as a problem with the backup script, and disabling the backups "until I can re-arrange things", which turned out to be three weeks later, when the hard drive stopped working completely. Lesson: Take the backups. If the system locks up during or near backups, take the backups manually and often.
