All it does is load the ability to understand XFS filesystems, if available. It's safe.
So I used the lsmod command, then the modprobe xfs command and then the lsmod command again, the difference was the following was added:
I then tried cat /proc/filesystems command again and received:
I assume that means that the server does in fact support XFS? Is it normal that the size is so large? Its twice the size of the next largest mod.

So what you're saying is, I would make a mirror of the entire system hard drive, and then weekly, could do backups, more similar to the online style, where I just upload file changes?
Yeah.

Finally, if I really wanted to, could I do both?
Absolutely. A hardware mirror can swallow a single-disk failure and keep going, plus weekly backups to your external drive can save you from more drastic things.
OK. So I will potentially setup a mirror on the external hard drive using the first option you provided. Next week, when I want to start weekly backups, what do I do, as in how will those backups be done? Do I redo the entire process weekly? Can I set it up to only update the changes?(Is this where a cron job comes in?) Or, do I mirror the drive and then download weekly tarballs (is it even feasible or wise to have both systems on the same drive)?
