We're about to do exactly the same thing. This to get ourselves a weekly off-site copy. We will use 500 GB external disks to "rsync -aH" the complete backuppc directory to this disk. We will use lvm and some encrypted filesystem for enhanced security. We'll have to test it out because the wiki is not very clear about it: "rsync has different limitations than cp - don't ask me whether it's better or worse. It's simply something different to try." It might be nice to have some "case studies" / "usage scenarios" on the backuppc wiki ? I'll report our experiences after we tested it all out.. cheers stoffell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
