Hi All,

We're trying to follow backup best practice (ie the 3-2-1 Rule: 3 
backups on 2 different media, 1 off-site). My question is: What's the 
best way to achieve this:

 1. Run three identical backups to each of the three destinations
 2. Run a single backup and use something like scp or rsync to copy the
    resulting backup files to the other two destinations
 3. Or can Amanda backup to multiple destinations at once, and if so,
    how is this accomplished

Thanks in advance for the advice

Cheers

Dulux-Oz
