I think you'll find that that won't work. Whenever I've tried to copy a relatively small backuppc install, the number of hardlinks cause tools like rsync to run out of RAM and fail. I've yet to see a good way of doing that for multi-terabyte pools documented - and at present we basically image the whole drive that backuppc is on and offsite that, but it's slow and a manual process.
