I actually have a potential off-site backup server in my lab right now,
consisting of a BeagleBoneBlack and two USB disks, seems to work.

The basic scheme is a cronjob which:

	zfs import inl
	run various rsyncs
	zfs snapshot -r inl@$YYMMDDHHMM
	zfs export inl

The import/export is so the USB disks spin down.

Not sure if ZFS will croak the 512M RAM on other workloads, but for
this one it seems to work fine so far.
