Surely this means sending a complete copy with every archive which
can't be rsync'd with what's already there no?

Hi,
I currently use BackuPC in a number of ways.
One of my more recent requirements is to be able to sync the most recent
backup to an offsite location
eg.
I have a backuppc server which backs up itself and a number of clients.
The most recent of each of these backups must be rsync'd offsite

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
This isn't really a solution for me.
My intention is to have a working copy of the latest snapshot at any on
time so that in the event of a disaster I can simply drop it in place.
Therefore a one to one rsync type snapshot is what I'm after.

As far as I remember you run into problems when rsync'ing a big
/var/lib/backuppc directory because of limitations on rsync / memory
consumption.

I wouldn't want to rsync /var/lib/backuppc as this is not in a format that
can be readily used.
What I'm after is a ready to use snapshot, As it looks on the server I'm
backing up or what it would look like if using the archive host feature but
just not in tar format.
Depending on how you've setup your backup-server (physical/virtual) you could
just save an image of the server.
The obvious question is:
against what are you protected your data?
If you store an offsite backup of /var /lib /backuppc and your main
datacenter dies, you need to restore not

BackupPC is great at what it does, backing up files, which is why I use it.
As my original post states, am aware that backuppc is not designed to achieve
my offsite-ready-to-use-most-recent-copy which is why I tried the fuse module
and was asking more for suggestions or alternatives to the
I manage my offsite disaster-recovery backup (which is rsync'd over the net) by:
+ Creating a directory of links that point only to the most recent full and
incremental for each host. (Incrementals always go against the last full.)
+ rsync each host directory individually. This breaks dedupe
That sounds very interesting Carl, I'd be keen to take a look at your scripts?
The reason I need a like-for-like ready-to-use copy is so that in the event of
a disaster I am able to bring a disk unit to the client as a drop in and
ready replacement of their (almost) most recent data while I pick

Yes, I could just take the backup directly from the individual
servers, and by the looks of things it may be my only option.
I was rather hoping for perhaps another fuse module alternative or

I'm currently using rsync to copy that /backup partition to an
