Things to consider:

- can compromising one of your servers compromise the backup
  server?

- can compromising your backup server compromise all of your
  other servers?

- do the 8 servers have significant duplicated data?

- is the purpose of your backup to recover files and file trees
  that people have accidentally deleted?

- is the purpose of your backup to restore a new machine to
  complete functionality from an image of the old one?

- is the purpose of your backup to archive various data sets
  going back in time?

Answers to those questions will help select better backup
solutions for you.
