Is it possible copy the contents of the backup directory to an external USB
hard drive to take offsite? Of course the external USB Hard drive will need
sufficient disk space to copy the contents over, but are there any other
issues?
I envision the process to be:
1. Connect the External USB Hard Drive to the BackupPC server
2. Mount the Drive, if not automatic
3. Stop the BackupPC daemon process on the server
4. From a shell command prompt, issue a copy command to duplicate the
contents and permissions from the BackupPC Data directory to the USB drive
5. Once completed, unmount the external drive
6. Disconnect the external drive
7. Restart the BackupPC daemon process on the server
Anything I'm missing, any gotcha's. Thoughts are appreciated.
