Let's get this straight here. You are backing up a machine on your network
to an external USB drive. I have noticed major issues myself when network
file transfer is combined with USB file transfer. It just takes forever. I
recommend trying an eSATA solution if you want to use an external drive.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Backup Taking Forever
All,
I have had to reconfigure backuppc a little so that I can get it to work
with my external USB drive. This mainly involved getting my external drive
mounted as NFS, and also mounting it to /var/lib/backuppc
Backuppc will start just fine and I can log into the web interface and see
my client (local machine) and see the configuration settings, both the
global one and for the specific machine.
The specific machine configuration file is configured so that 'TarShareName'
contains: /var, /etc, /photos, ..and several other partitions. I also have
set the 'BackupFilesExclude' to: /var/lib/backuppc.
When I start a full backup I notice that the file NewFileList is creating
entries for /var/lib/backuppc/* which is confusing to me as I'd expect this
to be exclude since it is part of the exclusion path.
I am using tar as the XferMethod.
Am I missing something that would prevent the exclude from working ?
I am running backuppc on Mandriva 2009.0 and I have version 3.1.0-7.
