Jim,

Thanks for the link. This looks like an intersting solution for my
personal backups, even if we cannot use it here yet. I will be following
your work.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Keeping servers in sync

Michael - I have a new LInux/FreeBSD backup program, HashBackup, in
beta that I believe will handle a large backuppc server.  In tests, it
will backup a single directory with 15M (empty) files/hardlinks, with
32000 hard links to each file, and can do the initial and  incremental
backups on this directory in about 45 minutes on a 2005 AMD box with
1GB of memory.

HashBackup can also send backups offsite via FTP, ssh accounts, or to
Amazon S3.  I'd be very interested in feedback if anyone would like to
try it on their BackupPC server.

The beta site is:

Of course, you're welcome to contact me via email with questions.

Jim
