First, if you are changing topics, please create a new thread rather than replying to an existing thread. This question is asked on a regular basis. You should be able to find lots of into in the mailing list archives. The basic answers are: 1) Create a 3-way Raid 1 mirror for your backup data and swap out the third drive for your offsite backup. 2) Have a 2nd BackupPC server offsite that backs up the same machines as the on-site server. 3) Use a custom script to copy the data to another location for your backup. (You should be able to find links to this in the archives.) Personally, I use option 1 and it works well for me. -- Bowie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
