First, if you are changing topics, please create a new thread rather
than replying to an existing thread.

This question is asked on a regular basis.  You should be able to find
lots of into in the mailing list archives.  The basic answers are:

1) Create a 3-way Raid 1 mirror for your backup data and swap out the
third drive for your offsite backup.

2) Have a 2nd BackupPC server offsite that backs up the same machines as
the on-site server.

3) Use a custom script to copy the data to another location for your
backup.  (You should be able to find links to this in the archives.)

Personally, I use option 1 and it works well for me.
