> This brings up an interesting topic though. A BackupPC network consisting of multiple BackupPC servers with a central BackupPC management console. It would save us considerable amount of time if able to manage children BackupPC servers from a parent. I will see what I can contribute here as well but I would be interested in what the BackupPC community feels about this. Nice to see people with this kind of configuration. I was thinking to put a mail about this topic on the mailing-liste.
I have some clients where I install a PC running BackupPC to backup their local computers (PC, MAC...). I want to keep the BackupPC box small, with only recent backups. I would like to backup all the files of each local BackupPC to a central place (in a DataCenter with enough storage) with rsync. >From the central server, if I connected directly with rsync a local BackupPC server I got the problem that there is many many hard links and it is not free. The local rsync process crunchs all the RAM and dies. I wonder if it is possible and easy that each local BackupPC server keeps a list a the new files recently seen, and send it to the central server when asked for ? This would reduce the work of all servers and speed it up.
