John,

I'm also a long time BackupPC user.

I was wondering if you have any solutions to cloning the entire backup 
set off site which you're going to discuss (i.e. the "sync a huge tree 
of hardlinks" issue).

"Yes, I'll discuss it next week" is a reasonable answer (though I'm not 
sure I'll be able to make it next week.)

Thanks,
