 Backup to 3rd location.

Hi,
I have to servers, they one backs up to the other each night. Some
times we get too much new data to backup over an ADSL line. In this
case, I would like to have the backup go to a USB drive so I can take it
to the server and 'unload' it.
You could write a script that used the --compare feature of version
0.13.4 can then compare the outputs to a predetermined threshold.
if it was too large, you could then rsync the backup to the usb disk
repository (on linux i strongly recommend firewire over usb2), walk it
over to the other server, then rdiff-backup /mnt/usb2
/mnt/originalrepository.
if you didn't want to use this feature, you could do a similar thing
with du or find. you could even get it to mail you so you knew it needed
the extra bandwidth :)
