Thanks, but what about weekly full backups? Would that swamp our remote 512mbps connections?

Our big issue here is retention - we have to keep backed up files indefinitely, can backuppc maintain a continually growing catalog of indefintely retained files? Of course, we would probably need to install a 64-bit database server....

Hopefully I'll have time to experiment soon. -Rob ********************************************************
