There is only one implementation. What I have asked for is a disaster recovery method for recovering backuppc servers. Holger has kindly promised to write / create a few scripts to do exactly that, when he has the time. I am hopeful that the scripts he creates will be integrated into backuppc - since I think it would be nice for backuppc to be able to backup other backuppc servers.
