That's not going to work for me.  Most of the data is in a single SQLite
database.  It's all or nothing and rsync doesn't help.  Moreover, remember
this is a hobby project, and I have no "offsite" to use.  I can and do back
up the individual contributions to the database, or the algorithms and
commands used, so restoring from those would be  possible but ugly.

Thus, RAID 5.  Not perfect, but what is?

Meanwhile, I'm having my share of troubles building RAID 5, but that's for
another thread.
