I have been using my own scripts to run backuppc_tarcreate of each host and
then i scp the tar to a remote host. However, I only do this once a week for
each host and do not have as large a backup database as you.
The other methods listed here might be more efficient for your situation.

Hello,
About three months ago I published a script that creates an archive of
hosts backed up with BackupPC and moves them to an offsite storage that is
mounted on the BackupPC server. In my case that was a CIFS share from a
remote Windows server. This script has been running smoothly on several

Hi,
I am replicating through drbd (which is in some way a RAID1 over network).
My BackupPC Storage is nearly 2TB in size and the connection is only around
50Mbit/sec.
Drbd is doing block based so the initial transfer was done through a fast link
and then placed on off-site.

Greetings -
I am running BackupPc to backup 8 desktop systems (mostly Windows)
in my office to a CentOS 6 VM on my in-house server. It currently takes
about 150GB of storage space. I would like to replicate (on a daily
basis) the backup to an off-site system for disaster recovery purpose

Hello,
We have an on-site BackupPC server (2.1.2pl1) backing up 31 hosts, with
a total pool size of 1.8 TB.
We're going to deploy an off-site backup server in a colocation

office is stuck with a T1 connection (1.5 Mbps symmet

interesting. i have not run into the issues mentioned above, though i may
not have a high enough file count to have an issue yet but its a good heads

This is because of the way rsync handles hard links, correct? So it's

Rsyncing will crush your machine depending on speccs and amount of data.
Some data here:
Server:

Xeon 2.8 GHz
2 GB DDR2
Raid 5: 460 GB

I have been using Backup PC for several month now and love it. I use it as a

with Backup PC than it is the Windows product.
Anyway, my question is that even though we are supposed to tote tapes off site,

Oooh. Hadn't even thought about doing gpg on the files prior to
transmission. Awesome idea. The side benefit of doing it that way is
that I can have clients off-site that have the key, but I do not. I can
back up their data, they can restore it, all the while I don't have

On linux, this model would use the dm-interface. This could be for
example to create a LUKS encrypted partition. It would - per design -
not protect from an on-line attack with admin rights however.

Hi!
This is an interesting scenario. I don't think I've seen it before. I've
created a system to proxy data on an untrusted network but not with
change tracking. One short comment first: with rsync over SSH (normal,
non-daemon operation) you won't need a VPN.

Rsync it to a mac, keep it on a filevaulted volume. That would do it. :)
FreeBSD has md (memory disk), and you could probably format it with an
encrypted filesystem. Not sure what to tell you so far as Linux goes.

I'd like to make an off-site backup of my BackupPC data partition
nightly and over the Internet. I don't have much data to deal with so a
simple rsync over a VPN would work just fine.
The problem is that I would like the data itself to be encrypted so the
