Dale, your gameplan is ok, it's the execution thereof that counts.
If you're p2p-ing to backup clients, why not do the right thing
and use GigaBit cards. They're just a tad more expensive than the
fast ethers (it's the switching stuff that makes it expensive). A
backup server with humongous buffering disks is a good idea, if
you need that kind of aggressive backup power. Once you're done,
you may sell it to others as "appliance".
