If you have some time to experiment, look on the backuppc development list for the new alpha version. It is very different and does not need the hardlinks for pooling. I haven't tried it myself yet, but would (cautiously...) if I needed to set up a new system. It may eliminate the single-filesystem requirement and will definitely make it more feasible to rsync the whole archive to maintain an offsite copy. I think it may also chunk up large files so unchanged blocks can be pooled even where the file has some changes.
While the server isn't in production yet, I've nothing but.
I'll do that, thanks for the heads-up!
