All,

I have implemented backuppc on a Linux server in my mixed OSX / Windows 
/ Linux environment for several months now, and I am very happy with the 
results. For additional disaster recovery protection, I am considering 
implementing an off-site backup of the backuppc server using rsync to 
synchronize the backup pool to a remote server. However, I have heard 
that in a previous release of backuppc, rsyncing to another server did 
not work because backuppc kept changing the file and directory names in 
the backup pool, leading the remote rsync server to having to 
re-transfer the entire backup pool (because it thinks the renamed files 
are new files).

I have searched the wiki and the mailing list and can't find any 
discussion of this topic. Can anyone confirm that the way backuppc 
manages the files and directories in the backup pool would make it 
difficult to rsync to another server, and, if so, can anyone suggest a 
method for "mirroring" the backuppc server at an offsite backup machine?

Regards,
Peter
