I'm using bacula and backuppc. I once lost the whole 4 TB backuppc cpool due to a hardware/xfs error and way glad to have a second backup system... Backing up the backuppc pool with conventional means is not easy, because of massiv amount of hard links. But you will find a lot of information about this on the backuppc list. This is the #1 topic there ;) Ralf ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
