Well, ZRS solves the HA challenge the same way as zeoraid, if I 
understand correctly, but what about offsite backups and the like?

The project I'm currently working on uses repozo to create backups that:

- get hoovered by the hosting provider's backup mechanisms and rotated 
offsite daily

- get sprayed by rsync over ssh to a DR site on another continent

How would ZRS solve these problems?

I'm not sure how much love repozo needs. It works, and it won't need 
changing until FileStorage's format changes, which I don't see happening 
any time soon.
