Tim, I have actually done the replication for a smaller site where BackupPC is backing up about 10 machines so it is only running for a few hours a day. When it is not running I have an rsync to a separate machine run. The BackupPC instance on that machine can easily be used for restores and, if I turn it on, for backups. I typically keep BackupPC on the second machine turned off as it is only used in case the first machine fails. I am not if this will scale because of the hard links, but perhaps if I used DRDB I could get around that problem. cheers, ski -- "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it connected to the entire universe" John Muir Chris "Ski" Kacoroski, [EMAIL PROTECTED], 206-501-9803 or ski98033 on most IM services and gizmo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
