I plan to backup (with rsync) some machines with nearly identical data
(operating system). Because this machines are only reachable through
internet I want to avoid a lot of traffic for files which are already
on the backuppc server.
I assume rsync will only compare the data between the client and the
backup of the client and not between client and cpool!?

So my idea:
0) create host1 with the backuppc gui
1) host1 runs a full backup
2) create host2 with the backuppc gui
3) cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host1/0 /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host2/0
4) cp -a /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host1/backups /var/lib/backuppc/pc/host2/backups
5) run a full backup for host2
6) run BackupPC_deleteBackup -c host2 -d 0

Someone believe that this will make a problem?
If somebody is interested I can make a script
(similiar the BackupPC_deleteBackup) and store it in the wiki.
