I this case you could use a second BackupPC server, as suggested, but keep only the last few backups (the last full backup plus some incrementals), but I guess this is exactly what was suggested below. In my opinion, a clean, easy and efficient way to have a BackupPC mirror is to use some disk-mirroring as drbd. with this you can avoid to run backups twice on the clients (one for master backup, another one for the secondary backup). of course, for this you need the same amount of disk space on the second backupPC server. but disk is cheap, and if the data is worth it, I would always spend the money. Probably you can raise such money from the people that own that data stored on your machines (which includes me ;).
