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. - PR -- Von unterwegs über die Luftschnittstelle gesendetAndrew Schulman <an...@al...> hat geschrieben:> 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 For a physical solution to this, I use a removable drive cartridge. Once a week I rsync the whole backuppc file system (/var/lib/backuppc) onto an encrypted volume stored on the removable drive, then carry the removable drive off-site. I rotate three removable drives: one in the drive bay, one on the shelf for the next use, and one (the most recent) always stored off-site. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

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 only the data but also the servers. So you should have a backup plan for all your servers (including backuppc) - PR shorvath <bac...@ba...> hat geschrieben: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. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by me...@th... via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@ba.... +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
