This is the method I would recommend.
I have BackupPC running on a dedicated machine using a 1 tb hard drive w/
538gb used.
I shutdown the BackupPC server, reboot using Clonezilla, image the drive,
reboot
@ 538gb it takes just over 4 hours to complete the process. Being this is a
dedicated machine, I take it down in the am, back it up and return it to
service. Normally, I do not run backups during the day so to not slow down
my end users.
FWIW,
Richard

2) Exporting a single copy of a specific backup to a removable destination
and moving that off-site. (Option 2 above). A variation of this would be
to make the destination for the archive a remote filesystem already
off-site, and there is no physical movement at all.
