Yes: copy it to your backup server host, and then tell BackupPC to backup those files *on the server host*. This will put them in the pool, which means they won't be retransferred. After a couple of backups on the client are done, delete them on the server. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future.
