But who backups the backups of the backups?  This array is for backing 
up all the other networked systems.  It's never been important enough to 
backup the backup though.

Thinking I lost the array clearly make me rethink that, so there's 
clearly stuff on there that should be backed up further.  The 
configuration of the backup system itself and snapshots of offline 
systems that no longer exist come to mind.

As it happens, the actual backup box PSU (!!!) died while doing backups 
which is what prompted me to move the array.  I had intended to move it 
into an existing system to reduce the number of running boxes; this kind 
of accelerated that along.

Time for teh food!
