The simplest solution: Setup a server identical to your Hobbit server,
and rsync the server/etc/ and data/{hist,rrd,tmp} periodically from
your main server. If the main server dies, start Hobbit on the spare
box.

It's a "nice to have" thing. Not difficult, just need a day or two to
implement it.

The "used" and "Capacity" columns are currently tracked. Do you want to
track the "Available" count also ? It *can* be done by a bit of math
in the graph definition.

It's in 4.1.2.

Could be useful, but I'll leave that for later.

I prefer to keep the pages as clean as possible, but feel free to 
customize the templates any way you like :-)
