[BackupPC-users] Possible to have 2 backup loactions?
I want to use Backuppc to do standard backups from windows servers to a raid 10 setup on the server. However i would like to copy some of the data backed up to another external drive for outside the building safe keeping is this possible with backuppc? So back up everything to main backup disks, then copy some of that data to an external disk so that i can leave the building with it... Anyone, Anyone,.. *Bueller?* :) -- Rob Morin Dido InterNet Inc.
