If you don't restore often, you can simply swap the disk holding the archive frequently and let the next run catch up. If you always want a current copy on line plus a recent version off-site, you need a way to do an image copy of the working disk, either with raid mirroring or unmounting the archive partition while you copy it with dd to the external drive. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[BackupPC-users] removable/external HDs
Hola again, re those people that use Removable and or External HDs for their backuppc setups, was their any brand in particular that tickled - and should I be looking for a certain file system format on the HD? We are running a Debian stable machine currently, with backuppc installed (obv), backing up a Windows 2000 server, which is mostly used as a file/print server only. I'm looking for a way to make the backups I do more portable - as both computers are in the same office, I'd like to make sure I have offsite backups (via removable/portable HD) and my current backup-to-tape (NovaBackup) is about to be retired because it is brain dead.
