Is that a off-site backup that uses any sort of rsync like algorithm to minimise the bandwidth used? If it is, you might like to get it to backup the cpool/pool and then use the pctar utility (forget it's name) which AFAIK creates a tar file full of the links. So your offsite backs up the pool + the small tar file. That way you could restore *ALL* your backup data.... PS, I don't know how truly practical the above is, but it may be an option? Can anyone comment on whether that might be a useful way to get an off-site copy of your backuppc server?
