Backup Central

Hi!

I'm using backuppc 2.0.2 to backup all my hosts. Now, I would like to mirror
the last full backup of all the hosts to another backup-host. The problem
is, that I cannot find a way to determine which backup is the last full
backup since they are numbered as they are backed up. Full image of the
first backup-host drive is not possible because the second drive has one
third of the firsts capacity. I was thinking of something like a
post-dump-script, but there is no variable telling the backup number.

I'm all lost here. There might be another issues I haven't even thought of.
If you have some idea of mirroring some of the backups to another host,
please let me know!

You can write a script to look in the pc/host/backups files
(or use the BackupPC::Lib->BackupInfoRead function).

It's probably ok to just backup the last backup, whether it is
incremental or full. BackupPC_tarCreate builds a complete
(merged) view of the backup, no matter whether the backup
is an incremental or full. In BackupPC2.1.0beta0 you
can specify -1 for the backup number to BackupPC_tarCreate
to specify the last backup.

I'm all lost here. There might be another issues I haven't even thought of.
If you have some idea of mirroring some of the backups to another host,
please let me know!

See the new archive feature in BackupPC2.1.0beta0.
