A colleague of mine wrote just that script. I had the problem of needing
to migrate my backuppc with all data to another server and ran into the
whole hardlink / memory issue. So my colleague wrote a script that
rsyncs the /pc data machine for machine and then after each machine
reconstructs the cpool. It takes a while on large installs, but works
like a charm, used it 3 times so far. I'll check if I can send it to
you.
