Hello everyone

I'm using BackupPC since 2 years ago now.

I want to backup what backuppc backups to put it on a tape, to be safe in case of climatic disaster or anything else.

I want to backup backups on a tape, using a LTO tape drive, and a program who runs on Windows.

When I run "du - sh" to know the size of my backuppc backups directory, on linux, it returns me "217G". When I do the same thing on Windows (right click on the folder-> properties), it sizes me this folder more than 500G... I think it's because of the symbolic links...

So, the question is : What must I backup to be sure to be able to restore the backuppc server ?

Thanks in advance

Nicolas
