Hello all,
sorry if this questions has been asked several times, but I cannot find the information I need to make a decision. So because of the number of hard links you can't just rsync the data pool or anything so the best option to send your backuppc server's data offsite is through the archive or restore scripts (correct me if I am wrong).

Please give me advice on which option might be best (I plan to restore to a sshfs from rsync.net or something). 

I am assuming archive is best because it creates a tar, gz, or bz2 file from the archive (ability to compress).  I tried using the archive from command line option on backuppc docs webpage but it has limited info and no examples.

Please advise,


Shaun Curry
