Is that a off-site backup that uses any sort of rsync like algorithm to
minimise the bandwidth used?

If it is, you might like to get it to backup the cpool/pool and then use
the pctar utility (forget it's name) which AFAIK creates a tar file full
of the links. So your offsite backs up the pool + the small tar file.
That way you could restore *ALL* your backup data....

PS, I don't know how truly practical the above is, but it may be an
option? Can anyone comment on whether that might be a useful way to get
an off-site copy of your backuppc server?

Adam
