At some time, you need the daily admin process to run, depending on what version of backuppc you are using, but I think backups are not run during this time... >> My question now is: >> If the full backup fails, does it start from scratch every time or are >> some files already stored in the backup and used during the next try, so >> it'll finish some day?

However, you did later agree that you are using rsync, hence it will continue pretty much where it stopped last time. >> Meanwhile, the full backup runs for 5 days, interrupted five times after >> 24hours...I don't know if it will finish some day. Quite possibly not, given that the default configuration is configured to remove a partial backup after it is 3 days old. That means (I may be wrong) once it has been re-attempted three times, it would be removed and the next backup would start from scratch.... >> Next question: >> Assume, the full backup is finished after two weeks- will the next full >> backup take the same amount of time? > > If you are using rsync it will be much faster next time, sending only > the changes. Hopefully this one has been answered for you by now...
