Hey all,
I've got a kind of unusual(?) situation, where I've got a bunch of boxes
in a colo space, with rather limited bandwidth. Most boxes have fairly
similar installs of Debian on them. Instead of doing full backups over the
WAN link, I'd like to place a BackupPC server on the local network, and
have it do backups. Once the nightly link jobs complete, then I'd like to
rsync all the contents to another server offsite, over the slow WAN link.
I see that rsync does support hard links properly, so I'd imagine this
should be possible. I *think* that if I set up BackupPC with the same
hosts list for the offsite host, I should actually be able to browse
backups and everything from that box, once the files are there - is that
indeed the case? I realize that I would need to disable backups from the
remote host, or I'd end up wasting a lot of bandwidth. :)
If anyone has any experience (or just speculation) on how well this would
work, I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!
