Whether or not it is practical to rsync -H the pool and pc directories will depend on how big your archive is (more on the number of files than the size), how much RAM you have, and what version of rsync you use (3.x is more effecient). > Please give me advice on which option might be best (I plan to restore > to a sshfs from rsync.net <http://rsync.net> or something). > > I am assuming archive is best because it creates a tar, gz, or bz2 file > from the archive (ability to compress).

You should probably just use BackupPC_tarCreate directly if you are going to make an archive from the command line. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
