Is this recorded somewhere? I can't find anything in the logs.

I might have to look into that ;) Has anyone managed to make BackupPC run from source? -- @martinkrafft | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "die ideen, für die wir bereit wären, durchs feuer zu gehen, sind oft nur der grund, das feuer zu legen." -- jeannine luczak spamtraps: madduck.bo...@madduck.net
