HI List, Just once more my question "Is anyone on the list actually running BackupPC on OS X?"
As described below I am having some difficulties in getting the perl environment satisfactory for using BackupPC and therefore I would like to hear from other that is using OS X to host the BackupPC server and - hopfully - get some good advice.
