This is confusing. Did you set your TopDir (location of the BackupPC storage pool) to /home/backuppc/storage? If so, then you run into recursion while backing up /home (issue #1 on that link).

Yes we have TopDir like that

$Conf{TopDir} = '/home/backuppc/storage';

And then to avoid recursion, I exclude what should not be backed up we have these excludes

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home' => [
    '/backuppc/storage',
    '/jenkins/workspace',
    '/jenkins/.m2',
    '/jenkins/.sonar',
    '/jenkins/.jenkins',
    '/jenkins/jobs/SDR_TRUNK/modules',
    '/jenkins/jobs/SDR_TRUNK_DEPLOY/modules',
    '/jenkins/jobs/SDR_TdTEST_INTEGRATION/modules',
    '/nexus/sonatype-work/nexus/indexer',
    '/nexus/sonatype-work/nexus/storage'
]
};

Are you asking about the location of the pool, or the restore directory when "sending the files to a remote computer?"

I mean if TopDir could be set to an SCP/rsync link rather than a local path

As far as I can tell, there's no (easy,built-in) way to separate out one client's backups to store in a different location. Even if possible, doing so would remove those backups from deduplication.

But some people simply configure a 2nd BackupPC server to back up the primary, or mount the pool remotely via NFS, or configure the pool under a mounted RAID set and periodically rotate drives.

Indeed nice idea I think we ll go for a mount of an additional volume, sound like the easiest solution and should be compatible with this setup thanks a lot =)
