However, backuppc as it is currently designed does not meet my need to remotely backup all kinds of computers, including other backuppc servers. I think the enhancements Jeffrey Kosowsky and I have outlined in this discussion would solve my problem, as well as a number of other problems, would significantly extend the functionality of backuppc, and also make it compatible with other platforms. I am therefore going to take this discussion over to the backuppc-devel and ask Craig what he and others over there think. Hopefully, I can sucker a perl developer to start coding it as an add-on to the current development release.
