I'll second this as a feature request that could be implemented by duplicating the hardlinks of a backup tree into different area to be saved until explicitly deleted and browsed in a different way so they could remain even if the host entry and pc/* directory were removed. This would be very handy for decommissioning a box or to hold a copy made before a major update or change until you are sure it is no longer needed. Meanwhile the best approach is probably to make an archive copy as a tar image either with the "archive host" support or BackupPC_tarCreate. These have the advantage of being able to survive the backuppc installation since all you need is tar to restore from them - and the disadvantage of not pooling space with other copies of the same files. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
