Which, conveniently, is backed up by the default localhost
backup job that is included with BackupPC. So, if you have some way
of duplicating your entire pool (rsync, dd, RAID 1, etc.), you get a full
backup of your BackupPC configuration for free! :)
(I thought all BackupPC installations stored their
configuration under /etc? At least, that's the default for Debian
and Red Hat packages, plus source installation, I believe...)
