Sadly, there is not yet a way to replicate a BackupPC server in an easy and
scaleable fashion. Searching the mailing list archives will find you some
solutions; but all are a bit kludgy, IMHO, and will require varying degrees
of research/clue/manual intervention.

The best and simplest way is to have your second backup server do backups
directly from the clients on its own. This also adds some redundancy to the
backup process, which has saved my backups on a few occasions.
