Hi,

I posted sometime ago a thread: "backup of backuppc and schedule"

The goal was to backup some backuppc server. A secondary backup level.

We stopped thinking that way, trying to use backuppc, too complicated 
and difficult to maintain.
Now I simply rsync the full backuppc primary tree to the secondary 
server, including config an all.

That way I can swap to a copy instance on my secondary backup server.
for 230Gb backupp the initial rsync took ~53h and the next diff only ~3h

What I need now is to stop the backup schedule on the primary.

$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} + $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} seems to do the trick,
or $Conf{BackupsDisable} = 2 + reload

I would prefer not to use BackupsDisable.
Using BlackoutGoodCnt seems dependant of $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} and 
its become tricky

Do you have a nice example?

What I would like is to disable totally the backup on my primary 
backuppc while the rsync run.
And better sometime before, so I know that nothing is beeing backup 
during the rsync.

Redgards,
Sylvain.
