If you are using LVM, just use pvmove and vgsplit with only a little
downtime.

You can tar up the whole pool directory and put it on an external drive
pretty easily. Just make sure that backuppc is not running when you do this
-OR- do an LVM snapshot and then backup the snapshot.
I have been using rsync to sync two servers for a long time but have
recently started experimen
results of a twisted and desperate mind :)

I have a setup with /var/lib/backuppc mounted to a 1 TB Firewire 800
drive. From a standpoint local to BackupPC, it's transparent. With USB
you'll be limited to 480 Mbps minus overhead, but that's about the
only real consideration I'm aware of--and that's still 60 MB/s
theoretical, which you probab

Hello everybody.
I've setup a Debian Lenny server with BackupPC 3.1.0-4lenny1 and
configured one remote host to be backed up via ssh tunnel.
What I do, like on my other BackupPC server, is as follows:
- set DumpPreShareCmd to execute this command:
/var/lib/backuppc/tunnel.sh -fC administra...@r
Hey
Would like some advise on the best way to backup backuppc. I have a
1TB USB drive that I would like to copy all of our backups to. Has
anyone done this? How easy is it to roll back from USB?
Many Thanks
