The servers gonna be on 2 UPSes on different power circuits, but ISP 
staff seems to have a weird sense of humor, one time they simply pushed 
the power button on one of our servers.
The place is supposed to be as safe as possible, and i'd like to have 
the data on mirrored raid discs.
I am mostly worried about users deleting files etc..
I need previous versions of files, and if the user by mistake deletes 
them, then i should be able to restore them.
