I got BackupPC 3.0 up and running. I'm currently testing it with a windows
client using a samba share. I haven't touched anything in the default
configuration with which I believe the server should take backups of all hosts
every 1 hour excluding the blackout period which is the only thing I changed in
order to test it. This is the last line of the logs, and every time that passes
it reproduces the same message. 

"2007-07-04 10:00:00 Next wakeup is 2007-07-04 11:00:00"

And just that, no backups are been taken by the system.

Also if I manually take incremental backups after I make some changes in the
files of the share, for instance, change the filename of a file, the incremental
backup won't see that change and take backup of the file with its older
filename. I have to take full backups in order to store updated files. Any
solutions to that ? I've read somewhere that samba method won't be able to
detect file changes and I'll have to install cygwin in every client in order to
use rsync which does proper backup of updated files, is that true ?
