Ok folks I've got everything up and running just fine now and am ready to transition from my old manual rsync scripts to backupPC. But for the 1st backup I'm wondering if there is a way to shortcut the process.
Reason: I have about 600G to backup, and the machine running backupPC is (at my mom's house) far away. It will take several weeks to push a new full backup over the internet connections - but a full copy of the directories to be saved is already there on that machine. Is there any way to manually fill the pool the first time (or similar method) to save having to move all the files across the link distance link on the first backup? I tried to answer my own question by inspecting the files in under the hostname directory in /var/lib/backuppc/pc but it seems the files have characters appended to their names and so forth so wasn't immediately obvious how to manually work on that. thanks matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
