This has been my experience working with the Debian packages. It

This solution isn't scalable for a building with a bunch of PCs, so
I'd love to hear what others think up.

Well, the restore must be done by a Windows user.
OK, why not use the same method that backed the file up to restore it?
Just choose restore in the BackupPC interface. If you backed the file
up using SMB, for instance, restore it using SMB! If it was backed up
using rsyncd, restore using

This is how I set up all my BackupPC servers. I use Debian, and mount
a second disk as /data.
mkdir /data

ln -s /data/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc

1- What filsystem I should use on the array for backuppc ?
Don't do anything with FAT or other filesystems that don't support
symlinks, BackupPC's pooling mechanism would choke on such a filesystem.
Rumor has it that ReiserFS works a tad better for BackupPC than your
other standard

BackupPC uses *hardlinks* for pooling.
DOH! You are so right.
Being mainly a Windows admin, I don't think I ever was completely

I am looking to use BackupPC in an environment with several roaming
laptops and a wad of disk on a hosting site.
You might try hosting BackupPC on a host that allows you to use a set
amount of RAM and CPU, like http://www.slicehost.com
Indeed, there is a 3.1.0 package for Debian Unstable...

to specify a backslash character? Well,
you need to double it, then. \\ means literal backslash the same way
that \ means literal space
This is why you're seeing double backslashes in command. It is normal.
