This would be ZE wise (and first) thing to do; think about little inconveniences that will happen one day or another to your work building: fire, lightning strike, flooding, gas (or bomb) explosion, dragon attack, rabid customer, and worse of all: a mad Craig Barratt attack (well, he's already mad, so it's not a matter of "if" but really a matter of "when";-p) It will also give you the main benefit of rsync by tunneling only what's necessary (only your first backup will take more time.) Think about the whole pool size and the time needed to tunnel it elsewhere… Jean-Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
