Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up a BackupPc host

Les,
All I have access to is "cloud storage" offsite - running a remote
backuppc server is not an option. Basically, I have access to rsync /
sftp / scp as file transfer protocols. What do you think about running
a directory change monitor based upon the Linux kernel inotify()
facility, such as fsniper or gamin, then triggering a rsync script to
synchronize only the directories that have changed?

backing up a backuppc pool over the internet, does anyone have a

What matters more is how many links you have to these files in the pc
tree. Rsync may work for you if you have plenty of ram and use the
latest version. If it doesn't, I'm not sure if there are any
alternatives that will work over the internet. There are several
approaches to making a local image copy of the partition, but even those
don't scale well to archives that won't fit on an external drive.
In some cases you can just let an independent offsite copy of backuppc
run through a vpn.
