I'm using bacula and backuppc. I once lost the whole 4 TB backuppc
cpool due to a hardware/xfs error and way glad to have a second backup
system...

Backing up the backuppc pool with conventional means is not easy,
because of massiv amount of hard links. But you will find a lot of
information about this on the backuppc list. This is the #1 topic
there ;)
