I stumbled over a document-oriented, replicating Database named CouchDB. It’s still in “alpha” but everything sounds very promising:

• Written in Erlang
• Flat-file and document-centered
• Replication built in
• Runs on
  1. Linux
  2. OS X
  3. Windows
• Open Source

What’s not to like? And since the local database is replicated with the peers, no backups. But don’t forget to put two or three machines in another building.
