Hello,

  No, but have the option of choosing MySQL for database, or using
  it's own flat file format, the side benefit from this would be easier
  web interfaces with PHP and the like, this unlike some simple
  scripting has to be done in services itself. You should be using scp or
  similar for the remote archiving anyway, if you employ RSA/DSA keys
  it's 1000x more secure, not to mention easier to script, hell you
  can even setup your remote script to trigger tar/bzip, then the next
  line to scp it off, so that you don't need to have 2 cron processes
  going.
