Hi everyone,
i'd like to try out this way to backup with backuppc on a linux server
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=20070225105524.GE3265%40tux1.brauer.lan

with 2 usb/firewire external disks on the same server to swap on
daily/weekly basis,
on every disk backuppc will backup the whole pool normally /his
/var/lib/backuppc pool for example) and with this scenario
i'll have the complete backup on every disk (1 one day/week older than
the other, not an issue)

I assume that backuppc will have to stop before disk unmount, and also
that backuppc will restart
only if the other disk is mounted correctly.
I'd like to know if anyone have used some scripts to do this,
especially if there is a way to integrate
the scripts with backuppc or if i have to use udev/linux tools to
check the disks and then start backuppc, and if it's a good way
(i think so from the previous post i linked)

Thanks,
Ermanno
