Yes, there are several ways to do it as long as you realize that you
have to keep the cpool and pc directories and everything underneath
them on a single partition so the hardlinks will will work. The simple
approach is to simply swap drives at some interval and let backuppc
catch up on the new one. You can also build a raid1 mirror between
an internal and matching removable drive and periodically break and
rebuild the drive, or use LVM with snapshot capability and copy
snapshot images to another drive.
