If you have a suitable offsite location with enough internet bandwidth, the low-maintenance way is to throw a vpn between sites and let an independent instance of backuppc run from there, backing up the same targets. You might need to make the initial copy on the local LAN or perhaps add each new target on a Friday and let it run through the weekend to get started. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
