Hello bpc users

We are currently using BackupPC as localhost to backup /home following the
recommendations seen here

http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/localhost.html

Everything works fine but we are wondering one thing

- Is it possible that instead of sending the files to
/home/backuppc/storage, to tell to BackupPC to send the files to a remote
computer via ssh scp for example

Does Backuppc has this feature or can implement it ? This would remove the
need to script an additional cron job to export /home/backuppc/storage to a
remote server when using bpc as solution to backup the server itself
No, it won't work.  Backuppc needs to be able to make hard links
between files in the host backup directories and the pooled instance
under pool or cpool, and scp won't maintain that.  For a small archive
you may be able to ' rsync -H' the entire archive directory, but this
is likely to fail as the backups grow.   The best approach is to
simply run backuppc on a different host and let it make the backups
there itself.

Thanks for the clarification, someone suggested me another solution that is to mount a remote volume in the system, that way I will be able to just update the local path, sound even better than installing bpc on a remote server because I keep the administration of backuppc
