I think you'll find that that won't work. Whenever I've tried to copy a
relatively small backuppc install, the number of hardlinks cause tools
like rsync to run out of RAM and fail.

I've yet to see a good way of doing that for multi-terabyte pools
documented - and at present we basically image the whole drive that
backuppc is on and offsite that, but it's slow and a manual process.

Cheers
