if you need to make a particular backup go off at a particular time, set up a cron job like this: 00 18 * * 6 backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup server.example.com server.example.com backuppc 1 this will send a message to the backup server to set off a full backup of server.example.com at the specified time. (This presumes you're using Debian's package, but just modify the path appropriately for your environment). otherwise, just let backuppc schedule things as it sees fit. I usually set the server up so it does the BackupPC_nightly job at 8am rather than midnight, and set the blackout period so jobs won't be done during the workday (with exceptions specified in the per-pc config files). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
