[BackupPC-users] Backing up over WAN connection

[Sean Gleason]

I am currently running BackupPC to a number of remote offices and have been recently asked to add another office that has way more data than the bandwidth could support during the initial FULL after the initial FULL the bandwidth should be fine since there is only about 10MB of changed files a day.  Is there any definitive way to copy the data locally at the remote office have them ship it to the data center than backup the copy of the data on the LAN than point the config back to the remote office.  Could an external USB drive do this or could I build a white box and change the config to point to the white box on the LAN for the first FULL than change the config back to the WAN.  Would this work and has anyone done this in the past.  Thanks in advance for any input.
