Re: [BackupPC-users] Outsourcing backup

What I would do is this:

Setup backuppc for company A at the company B location
Setup backuppc for company B at the company A location

That way you will have total failover redundancy with no "lost weeks". So if say Company A "burns" or is robbed, etc you have the backup of the servers at company B location and vise versa. This way you are maximizing your protection. And you don't have to rely on "sneakernet" to transfer the drives. Everything is automagic. This nearly eliminates human interference. With this setup I would stagger the full backups to different days though.

I will test it (but I want a full backup every week). We have a connection with 250 KB/s.

My goal is not to centralize backups so I wondered if my solution will be good.

Imagine if the company burns or HDD breaks. For me it's better to have two HDD (at different locations) with a loss of one week if its burn. Do you understand why I want exchange between both every week and why I imagine this steps ? (maybe I'm not clear :-S)

Thanks.
