The CVS repository is already synced almost-live back to both svr1 in
panama and the anoncvs box in the US. It will be synced to the new VM
marc is setting up as well. I assume these machines also have some kind
of backup - Marc will have to fill in on that.
Oh, and the plan is to have the entire VM synced up between austria and
panama machine once / day again once Marc has fixed the issues with that
box.
