Re: [BackupPC-users] offsite server

Thanks to everyone that's replied! Much appreciated. It seems that another instance of BackupPC is the general consensus. I'll need to think about how best to configure it, as as Johan has mentioned I don't want to overburden clients, but this should be easy enough with appropriately set

Re: [BackupPC-users] offsite server

I would agree. Backing up the backup doesn't help if the primary backup fails in some of the ways described in this thread; a far better solution (from a points of failure perspective) is to have two independent backups systems backing up the client. Just my $0.02, I am not an expert in these

Re: [BackupPC-users] offsite server

Depending on the size of your environment, it may be impractical to try to rsync the pool. Our BackupPC server covers about 120 systems and uses >4TB (and 100M inodes) to do so. Such a file system would not rsync quickly to a remote location. I believe the best thing to do is to have a Local
