Re: [BackupPC-users] Off-site mirror

I investigated the archive option in BackupPC but I don't think that will meet our requirements. We would like our off-site backup to be a complete working copy of the local BackupPC system (if required). I've rsynced our current system to another server now so I'll set up BackupPC on there to test. If any one is interested in the results please let me know.

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.
