Perhaps I mentioned my scheme before; maybe it will
be of use to you, Eleanor ...
- I back up to a local directory. This is fast (but
requires that there be enough space for the compressed
backup files)
- I then send (rsync in my case, but you can use other
methods) the new backup files to a remote server.
- I then delete the *.vol* files locally, but KEEP the
manifests and sigtar files. These latter files are
enough for running future backups, and I feel certain
are adequate for using --dry-run to get a list of
what would be backed up.
Best wishes -- Eliot Moss
