I'm currently at ~400GB and the rsync -H seems to take around an hour
with 1GB to sync. I'll see how it goes when larger amounts of data are
added. I've set the BackupsDisable configuration option to be 2 on the
DR system so I can view the web interface and complete restores but not
have my DR data altered. Thanks for your suggestion; I'll investigate
something like that further if my rsync speed becomes troublesome.

Hi,
I had similar in mind when creating my solution. Depending on the final
size of your BackupPC directory (here: 1.3TB) you will realize that
rsync isn't really an option. I'll just take ages and keep your BackupPC
server busy for hours while syncing.
I tried a lot, too. In the end I used drbd. My BackupPC directory is now
a drbd device which syncs automatically to my second server. The second
one is not in the same building and connected through a (slow!) WiFi
connection. It really slows down access on the primary but this is no
harm for me here.
You can installl BackuPC on the second one (but not activate it!) and in
emergency just start and you have a restore possibility.
A perfect solution. Only issue is the slow I/O transfer because of the
WiFi connection. If you have a lot of clients and are bound to a quick
backup this might not work. Otherwise it's perfect. ;)
Greetings
Christian
