Some docs on backing up sandstorm right now. https://github.com/sandstorm-io/sandstorm/blob/1726902d01a280ae040fbb77a6dd14cbfada2730/docs/administering/backups.md

Can we take a live snapshot or do we really have to bring sandstorm down?

Also some security minded stuff:

• We should GPG encrypt the backups using a public key specifically for backups
• Can we automatically trigger deletion of backups after a certain amount of time?
• Is it possible to backup accounts individually? This would allow us to do things like support a user requesting that no backups are kept, or to offer complete account destruction including all backups.

lets look at https://labs.riseup.net/code/projects/backupninja

also, http://duplicity.nongnu.org/index.html (which looks like an option in backupninja but is interesting in and of itself as it's the one that supports gnupg encrypting incremental backups)
