One simple thing that I've sometimes thought would be useful would be a
way to re-create the pool links down any PC tree. That way you could
rsync individual pc directories to an offsite location which usually
works OK even with -H (I suppose there is some limit..) and then
reconstruct the pooling to reclaim the duplicate space, repeating for
each host or new backup without ever having to deal with the size of the
combined pool/pc tree.
