i'm using a simple procedure i cooked up to maintain a "third copy" at a third physical location using as little bandwidth as possible.  it simply looks at each pc/*/backups, selects the most recent full and most recent incremental (plus any partial or /new), and copies them across the wire, together with the most recently copied full&incremental set (plus any incompletely copied sets), using rsync, with it's hardlink copying feature.  thus my third location has a copy of the most recent (already compressed) pc/ tree data, using rsync to avoid copying stuff over the wire that's already there (and not bothering with the cpool), which, for me, is a happily sized set of hardlinks that rsync can actually manage (ymmv).  i have successfully used this together with a script to recreate the cpool if/when necessary.  if it's of interest i could share it.
