This is the way I do it at one location. I have a directory called /var/lib/backuppc/dump, and tgz archives of all the hosts get dumped there by virtue of a custom script. The script also handles the mounting and unmounting of an external drive. So someone (an unskilled office worker) swaps the drive once a week after they get an e-mail of a successful backup. They then take the drive with the new data and remove it offsite. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
