I would love this feature: multiple BackupPC front-ends running against the same pool. It would be perfect for an active-active cluster. I've though about using two separate BackupPC servers with DRBD between them in an active/standby, but this would allow a load-balanced set of BackupPC servers with a common pool. Even better, I would pay a modest bounty for such a feature: multiple BackupPC machines working against the same pool, with a single configuration, backup queue, etc. between them. Another way of doing it would be to have a way to replicate a backup from one server to another, where backup data could be pushed or pulled by the BackupPC processes on two different boxes without actually doing a normal backup from two different servers. Then I can have two online, active BackupPC servers with the same data. I'd be willing to pay a bounty for this one, too. An online way to replicate backups between multiple BackupPC servers.
