Removable Drives

backuppc will work with removable drives that I can swap out every so often.  One thing to realize is that you have to keep the cpool and pc directories and everything underneath them on a single partition so the hardlinks will will work. In my case, the backuppc data resides on the Coraid appliance /home/backuppc.  The simple approach is to simply swap drives at some interval and let backuppc catch up on the new one.
