Guys We're looking at utilising BackupPC as a platform on which to host backups of our customer sites, providing those customers with a level of self-management.
Two things are necessary to achieve this; 1. Each restore action should notify our accounts dep't so that excessive numbers of restores can be invoiced to the customer. 2. Excessively large individual restores should be halted prior to going over our metered Internet link. Instead an email should be sent to our backup-admin (and to the customer) so that a CD/DVD can be burned (or USB-HDD, whatever) and couriered to the customer. Presumably BackupPC doesn't currently do this but how feasible would it be to build this in (or create a plug-in)? We've got perl developers here who are probably capable of coding this but we may instead consider funding a developer who is experienced in the BackupPC codebase. cheers!
