Option B) is correct :) The offline-backup script generates a small file with the directive and value 0 or 2. The file is included in config.pl: do "external-control.pl"; After generating the include file the script calls BackupPC_serverMesg server reload Thanks a lot for your help. I am thinking about sharing our backup setup on some wiki since it is something we have been fine-tuning several years and many companies fight with proper backup solution.
