[BackupPC-users] Copy the backuppc drive to a removable drive

[Rich D. <rdu...@th...>]

Hi backuppc-ers,

I've been running a backuppc host for several weeks and I've been quite
pleased with it.

I've got my backuppc files all going to a separate internal IDE drive in
my backuppc server.

Now, I want to start backing up the backuppc drive.  What I think I want
to do is sector copy the backuppc drive to a removable hard drive and
rotate that drive to off-site storage.

I took a look at the archive host function, but it doesn't seem to be
suited to backing up the entire pool, but perhaps just one host, though
I could be incorrect about that.

How can I safely quiesce backuppc so I can sector copy the drive?  Do I
need to hook into the BackupPC_nightly job? or something else?

Thanks for any advice.
