[BackupPC-users] Backing up a BackupPC server

[Justin Pessa]

I am interested in seeing what others do to move their backup data to other media for rotational backups.

Currently I use a series of hotswappable SATA drives and rsync to transfer the contents of /var/lib/backuppc to the removable disk. Is there a better solution?

My current backup scheme is similar to the grandfather/father/son tape rotation where BackupPC is doing the son backups and my cron script runs the Grandfather/Father backups. I manually swap the disk weekly and adjust the various monthly/quarterly offsite pools.

Your thoughts?
