I presume you meant to send this reply to the list rather than

can see your answer. I'm a relative newbie with backuppc,
so i don't know enough to know if there's some improvement you
might make within backuppc.
Given what you're trying to do, however, I suspect not.
Regarding realtime mirroring, i'd suggest looking into the linux nbd
(network block device) or a commercial solution like veritas volume
manager. Sounds like you're running a production system so buying a
commercial product would probably be a reasonable solution.
