Very useful.
A few months ago the LVM on my Debian woody server went squirally.
Thankfully all that data was also on the other drive. I formatted and
copied the data back into place.
I accidentally mashed the delete key in Konqueror the other day. I was able
to simply go to the other drive in the other machine and rsync the file back
into place.
I have a cron job that does this via rsync with SSH keys every night. Disks
are cheap. The script is simple. While it may not qualify as a full backup
to the "enterprise" geeks here, it definitely saves some serious headache.
