Hi Phil, In short, your options are to use BackupPC v3 with ZFS or btrfs (or even block level replication such as RDBD) and replicate the filesystem through snapshots, or to use BackupPC v4 with any of the above or rsync. This is due to rsync being slow with hardlinks, and BackupPC v4 no longer depending on them. Check the list archives for more detailed answers, this question has been answered many times before. A different approach is to run a separate, secondary instance of BackupPC with the same settings.
