Can someone *PLEASE* make this a sticky on the God-forsaken forum that
cross-posts here?
To slightly expand what Les wrote: there are 4 realistic options (for a
very loose definition of "realistic"):
1) rsync the pool.
2) LVM Snapshot/dd
3) Break a RAID array
4) Run two separate BackupPC servers, both backing up the same server.
Use Google for further details.
