The Reason we did this ist o avoid custom Config Files for each Host. We only need to create the Host with name 'ctDIR8' and everything works like a charm ... so only the"hosts" file needs tob e changed when adding/removing Hosts ...

In all I have been able to do some really funky things in my config files by inserting my own Perl code to make the configuration do what I want... So long as version 4.x still uses a similar structure for the config file, I would imagine that one will still have plenty of flexibility and power to allow for run-time type configuration capabilities. > As BackupPC 4 will use C-compiled Rsync it’s not that easy anymore to > get this Patch into … I would try to avoid a patch or Rsync.pm even in 3.x > > So I hope it will be possible to have Variables within “RsyncShareName“ > (and have $HOST be Case-Sensitive for this Case ;-)) > > > Thank you > > Andreas Schnederle-Wagner > > > > Andreas Schnederle-Wagner > > Futureweb OG > > Innsbrucker Str. 4 > > 6380 St. Johann > > > [1]schnede...@futureweb.at > > [2]www.futureweb.at > > [3]www.ortsinfo.at > > > Fon: +43 (0) 5352 65335-0 > > Fax: +43 (0) 5352 65335-777 > > Gratis über Skype anrufen | Skype-ID: futureweb > > References > > 1. mailto:schnede...@futureweb.at > 2. http://www.futureweb.at/ > 3. http://www.ortsinfo.at/ > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Slashdot TV. > Video for Nerds.
