I ended up with this scheme: backup ------- * DumpPreUserCmd - sudo rsync remote-dir local-dir incl. list of excludes * backing up the local dir using sudo rsync... restore: ------- * RestorePreUserCmd - sudo sshfs remote-dir local-dir * restoring to local dir using sudo rsync.... * RestorePostUserCmd - sudo umount .... It seems to work OK, I just have to make sure backup and restore operations do not run concurrently. I wish there was a way to tell Backuppc to lock out the other one automatically. The mutual locking is doable using scripts though... Regards, Pavel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
