Hi, Basically, I plan to have a cycle of 3 offsite backup disks, and I'll use the backuppc archive command to archive the latest version. I'll then copy that archive to the remote disks. If I have a failure on the BackupPC disks, I'll lose some historical data, but I'll have the three most recent backups offsite. Gerald
