Yes, but then we're back to encryption; I'm not willing to have the remote backups not be encrypted. I suppose I could run backuppc remotely out of an encrypted FS file or something. There's also the fairly serious security implications of giving the remote server sufficient access through my firewall to back up all my local machines. Actually... I'm going to go to hell for asking this, but how good would backuppc be at backing up a backuppc directory? :D -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
