The directory that hold my backuppc data is getting filesystem errors, (reiserfs), that looks like it can be fixed with fsck.resierfs --rebuild-tree, but when you run that command, it give dire warnings about running it without a backup. So, I'd like to backup my 1.2Tb of files somewhere before attempting to repair the filesystem.
I have another server with enough space, but I'm guessing rsync would be horrible because of all the hard links, and probably wouldn't work without the right options. Can anyone recommend the best way to copy those files while preserving as much of the attributes and data as I can? ddrescue? tar tunneled through ssh? other options? What has worked for you?
