After much deliberation, I've decided on a backup strategy.  I will backup any given computer on a computer in my local network, or a USB hard drive.  In addition to that I will give a hard drive to one of my friends for safe keeping and backup to that hard drive from time to time, when I visit him.  It isn't an ideal backup solution for several reasons.

For anyone interested in backing up their Debian server, Duplicity is an excellent solution.  Of course, I cannot simply just say use Duplicity.  As with most things there are several caveats and gotchas that will make Duplicity much more difficult to setup without the resources I'm sharing here.
