All, I have implemented backuppc on a Linux server in my mixed OSX / Windows / Linux environment for several months now, and I am very happy with the results. For additional disaster recovery protection, I am considering implementing an off-site backup of the backuppc server using rsync to synchronize the backup pool to a remote server. However, I have heard that in a previous release of backuppc, rsyncing to another server did not work because backuppc kept changing the file and directory names in the backup pool, leading the remote rsync server to having to re-transfer the entire backup pool (because it thinks the renamed files are new files).
I have searched the wiki and the mailing list and can't find any discussion of this topic. Can anyone confirm that the way backuppc manages the files and directories in the backup pool would make it difficult to rsync to another server, and, if so, can anyone suggest a method for "mirroring" the backuppc server at an offsite backup machine?
