Hi,

I'd guess it would be more practical to just have the 2nd box hit the same 
targets as the other one directly instead of copying the backups, perhaps 
skewing the blackouts so they don't both hit the same target at once.  Or if 
that won't work, do some sort of image copy of the archive disks.

Yes, may be.

In fact, the basic idea was to not resetup the full config of every backuppc (primaries backup server) on a secondary backup server.
Our main backuppc has 86 hosts and 278.15 Gb of data. On others, far less, but many more files or more data.

And the second stage backup (done by the secondary) could also be heavy for every host, plus I should keep all the config synchronized between every backuppc server. => nightmare too

I'm not sure it will be simpler.

Here is the backup policy I'm trying to setup on the secondary backup

1 full every 2 month
1 incr / week ~ 8 between full
1 server max per day
stop backups on the remote server, when they are backuped, even before if some backup are long...
don't backup one specific server during work hour

And I'm fighting hard. :-(

The only difficulty in fact is the stop.
If I don't have to stop the backup on the remote server, it seems pretty simple.

I may stop violently the remote server, even if it was in a middle of a long running backup.... (I'm thinking)

With a magic wand, I wish that the secondary backup could tell the remote backup that it would be backuped tomorrow...

Now, I gonna make a magic wand! :-)

Regards,
Sylvain.
