PS - Checked with dreamhost & they do make filesystem (domain) backups, but they quite clearly say they do not guarentee things here, and recommended/offer an approach for you to do a complete domain download every 30 days. The only issue here then is the amount of downloading you'd have to do...which would then make one wonder whether it might be more cost effective storing the uploaded files directly on something like S3 to start with perhaps? any comments
