are you sure?  we do the backup automatically (cron-job/ windows:
at-job)  in this way, you have something like (scheduled) local packages.

we are still using a mssql-server.  we also use a pgsql-server on linux
for 3 small to medium applications, and we are _very_ happy with
postgres (on linux) in terms of performance, stability, and
manageability.  in fact, we are planning right now to port one
application from mssql to postgres.
