Thanks Lars, I think that this is going to be the way I'm going to go. I'm going to migrate the existing pool from its current location on a 1TB linux MD RAID 1 to a newly created 2TB ZFS RAID 1 using 3x drives (the third being the fireproof external). I do believe that this is where BackupPC

Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, what are your thoughts on using ZFS' dedup feature on a BackupPC pool? I'm aware that a goodly amount of RAM would be required for that feature. But since BackupPC's dedup feature is file-based, and ZFS' dedup feature is block-based, even more space could be s

As far as the notice you could use an api for the client to let the server know that a backup client is done. In the case of duplicati backuppc would be a file server for windows client. Also with duplicati the client would start the backup and not the server. On Mar 4, 2013 2:19 PM, "Les Mikesell"
