Re: [BackupPC-users] using backuppc to backupc another backuppc server

[Rob O. <ro...@bi...>]

I think your plan is good, except that I've been told that rsync takes a
long time to duplicate all the hardlinks in the BackupPC pool.  About a
month ago I had the same question as you and somebody on this list
recommended that I just set up BackupPC on the remote server and
configure it to talk to the host machines directly.  The only drawback
(if it even is a drawback) is that the remote server won't have the
exact same backup info as the local BackupPC server, since they will
likely perform their backups at different times of the day.
