Sure. All the userland programs could trivially be ported. It's the
kernel side that would be difficult.
And, yes, the idea here is to use the journaling to mirror off-machine,
to a 'backup' box on the LAN and from there completely off-site to
backup boxes out on the internet... and for all of that to work in a
robust fashion.
