Re: [BackupPC-users] automated off-site backup (via BackupPC_archiveStart or restore)

Thanks Les for this. Does anyone have a working rsync with -H option over a sshfs? I have been trying this all afternoon with much difficulty.
First I was getting errors about chown permissions (Worked through - mounted sshfs as root user), now I am getting a strange error:
rsync: link "/backup/pool/backuppc/pc/10.0.0.99/0/fshare/fdrivers/fDell - 720/fWin_XP2K/fdlbcw2k.inf" => backuppc/pc/10.0.0.99/0/fshare/fdrivers/fDell - 720/fWin_XP2K/fdlbcw2k.ini failed: Function not implemented (38)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (2914 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.5]
I am running this command::~# rsync -avH /var/lib/backuppc /backup/pool/
I have no problem working through my errs but if someone is currently implementing this and it works please let me know how you accomplished it!
thanks in advance

Whether or not it is practical to rsync -H the pool and pc directories
will depend on how big your archive is (more on the number of files than
the size), how much RAM you have, and what version of rsync you use (3.x
is more effecient).

You should probably just use BackupPC_tarCreate directly if you are
going to make an archive from the command line.
