My feelings on using rsync to double buffer the backups aside, this is mainly windows files so the only reason to restore is in the case of a total server loss, in which case getting replacement hardware takes longer than driving over to the data centre and retrieving a copy of the data. Scheduled VSS snapshots solve the "oh crap my file broke" type restores without ever involving bacula.

It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
