A doubt: By using the:
" /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup host.example.tld host.example.tld backuppc 1" The backup will be seeing in the Web interface for status and log retrieval, as will it send the status email at the end of the backup?

The usual approach with backuppc is to tell it when you do not want backups to run and let it take care of deciding which host(s) to back up at which times within the allowed window. If you have more than a few targets, this allows the runs to happen as fast as possible with the concurrency you permit. After the initial run, the timing is mostly controlled by the time you set to expire between each full and incremental. If you really need to micro-manage things for some reason, you can use a cron job to send a ServerMesg command: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=ServerMesg_co mmands -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
