That one is simple: Not with backuppc! :-)

If you think backuppc can solve this problem, you haven't (yet?) used 
backuppc.

A solution for your problem would be anything starting from good old 'cp' and 
similar copy-operations (preferably preserving attributes).
I use(d) rsnapshot for a lot of stuff. But that too saves to a local disk with 
the need for hard-links. If at least the target-share is nfs, you can use it. 
If both shares are cifs/smb and you only want a backup of the current and 
maybe one old version, then rsync should help you.

Have fun,

Arnold
