Hi again David - HashBackup could be used to backup your BackupPC server. Basically, you'd just hook an external USB drive to your server and take a backup. I've tested it with directories containing millions of files with 32000 hard links to each file on a Linux box with only 1GB of memory, so it scales very well and doesn't have rsync's memory problems. The backup is AES encrypted, and with a 3-4 line config file containing userids and passwords, you can send your encrypted backup offsite to Amazon S3, FTP servers, or remote ssh accounts.
