Hi,

I have a single machine that's running backuppc, but as I add more and more hosts to the backuppc server, the load for it keeps on getting bigger as guys can imagine.

Anyways, I just got a new server that will run backuppc. That way, I can split the backups between the two servers. So here's what I would like to know: I have about 50+ hosts added to the first backuppc server, so I might move 25 of those hosts to the new backup server, that way each server will take care of half of the backups. But it would be a little time consuming for me to create a new backuppc key on the new server and add that key to each host (about 25) so that I can login without a password. So could I just copy the backuppc ssh key from the first backuppc server to the new one and also the "known_hosts" file, so that I can login to all hosts to be backed up without a password?

Thanks for the help!
