Hi,
I've been reading docs on BackupPC and I have a few questions about
how it works.
First off, I gather that it keeps a hardlinked pool of data, so
whenever a file changes on any host, on the backup device, it will be
hardlinked to a file containing the same data, regardless of the host
it came
I have a scripted setup for our mixed Cisco and Procurve network, that
ssh's into each switch/router and dumps backup data to a secured tftp
server, the tftp server is then backed up via BackupPC.

I recall seeing an announcement suggesting the FTP was now a standard
method for backuppc to do backups with, are your routers capable of
that? If not, you could probably adjust the FTP method to use scp...
Actually, what about sftp ? Does the server/r
This really isn't the bailiwick of backup software. What I do on my
Cisco SAN switches is use ssh to pull a config from each of the
switches (had to setup ssh to access wo/ password). I then save the
config in SCCS when their are differences between the current version
and the prior version. Th
