Hi Timothy,
Thanks for your comments, unfortunately however I think you're missing my point.
I very much like the way Backuppc handles backup, dedupe etc. and to use this
on the local site to handle the backups of each individual client would be
preferred, plus it gives the client an interface

That sounds very interesting Carl, I'd be keen to take a look at your scripts?
The reason I need a like-for-like ready-to-use copy is so that in the event of
a disaster I am able to bring a disk unit to the client as a "drop in and
ready" replacement of their (almost) most recent data while I pic
I manage my offsite disaster-recovery backup (which is rsync'd over the net) by:
+ Creating a directory of links that point only to the most recent full and
incremental for each host. (Incrementals always go against the last full.)
+ rsync each host directory individually. This breaks dedupe be
BackupPC is great at what it does, backing up files, which is why I use it.
As my original post states, am aware that backuppc is not designed to achieve
my offsite-ready-to-use-most-recent-copy which is why I tried the fuse module
and was asking more for suggestions or alternatives to the module

Depending on how you've setup your backup-server (physical/virtual) you could
just save an image of the server.
The obvious question is:
against what are you protected your data?
If you store an offsite backup of /var /lib /backuppc and your main
datacenter dies, you need to restore not onl
I wouldn't want to rsync /var/lib/backuppc as this is not in a format that
can be readily used.
What I'm after is a ready to use snapshot, As it looks on the server I'm
backing up or what it would look like if using the archive host feature but
just not in tar format.
+--
As far as I remember you run into problems when rsync'ing a big
/var/lib/backuppc directory because of limitations on rsync / memory
consumption.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
This isn't really a solution for me.
My intention is to have a working copy of the latest snapshot at any on time so
that in the event of a disaster I can simply drop it in place.
Therefore a one to one rsync type snapshot is what I'm after.

Hi,
I currently use BackuPC in a number of ways.
One of my more recent requirements is to be able to sync the most recent
backup to an offsite location
eg.
I have a backuppc server which backs up itself and a number of clients.
The most recent of each of these backups must be rsync'd offsite

Hi BackupPC users,
I've recently started using BackupPC on the network here at work. I've got
a couple dozen Windows PCs and two Windows servers which will all
(eventually) be backed up with BackupPC to a Debian Linux box. I'm adding
PCs gradually and really like the system. (I'd previously bee
