That mechanism won't scale much farther. Rsync chokes on the number of files that BackupPC (at least the 3.x version) uses, because of the hardlinks. BPC 4 may be better able to replicate its data pool remotely. it's very alpha at the moment tho and I don't know if anyone is yet trying to hammer out how to do remote replication with it and what the limiting values are. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
