Backup of backups

No, really, it’s not hard to deal with the files created by Duplicati. This is exactly why Duplicati is so awesome. It’s very efficient to sync or backup (ie. with or without version history) the files created by Duplicati to secondary locations. This is exactly the benefit we get from the de-duplication and static container files used by Duplicati. Drawback of course is that restore and compaction are but slower, as well as the de-duplication process itself is energy consuming (cpu, ram, i/o on the server creating the backup).

I think it’s like you said: there is always a price to pay. I was just thinking of reducing the price, while being able to use Duplicati in all the steps.

There has been a recent discussion in an older topic, “How to backup the backup?” (How to backup the backup?), about this, it would be great if you could read what I wrote and give more of your helpful thoughts.
