[rancid] Backing up backups

[Matthew Mengel]

Hi.

A quick query - I have a single RANCID server. Is there a recommended way to backup the config "database" (for want of a better word) if I don't want to run up a second server.

Thanks
Matthew

tar(1), dump(8), rsync(1)? if you're using svn, google for svn-backup-dumps.py.

We back up our configs to a private Mercurial repository server. It has
its own backups.
