I must admit this is the first I heard of BackupPC, but since this sounds like at time when some grunt work is to be expected anyway, I thought it may not be totally useless to recommend looking at a different backup product. The only backup system I've actually ever enjoyed working with is Bacula (in packages, and it supports a wide range of systems, including the Seattle-area ones). More complicated than tar or rsync for sure, but it scales and is in my experience at least a very admin-friendly solution. - Peter -- Peter N. M.
