The biggest problem with this is that you're most likely looking for off-site replication: a fire/tornado/theft would affect both members of the cluster. And doing DRDB over a slow connection (i.e. WAN) is going to *seriously* slow down your backups... That's why so *very* many of us have asked these same questions so *many* times. What I think many of us (read: ME!) would like is a way to replicate a backup from one server to another without hammering the host that needs to be backed up twice. After all, the fact that it needs to be backed up means that it does real, valuable work; whereas the backup servers spend most of their time idle, just *begging* to replicate data somewhere else... :) Tim Massey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
