rsync'ing the BackupPC data pool is generally recommended against. The number of hardlinks causes an explosive growth in memory consumption by rsync and while you may be able to get away with it if you have 20GB of data (depending on how much memory you have); you will likely run out of memory when your amount of data gets larger. future versions of backuppc may deal with this problem better. There are ways of replicating the backuppc data pool remotely; but I have not tried them myself. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk Collect, index and harness all the fast moving IT data generated by your applications, servers and devices whether physical, virtual or in the cloud.
