Hi all,

I have a BackupPC server running at our office successfully but now want to look at an off-site mirror (DR). When I create my off-site server I want to be able to use it to restore files in the event of a catastrophic failure of our main backup server, but don't want BackupPC running on it.

Do I just install BackupPC on the off-site server and rsync the /etc/backuppc, /var/lib/backuppc, and /usr/share/backuppc directories? Will this allow me to then manually run some BackupPC restores from the command line? Or do I need to actually enable the off-site mirror BackupPC instance to run normally so I can do restores from the web interface?

Do you know about backuppc's archive function? That's the most common way to create offsite backups.
