I've got BackupPC running on a somewhat low spec server, but it's running fine for the 60 or so PCs we've got in use. In fact, it's saved the day on numerous occasions. The system specs are just good enough to fully support all the usual BackupPC functions.
Issue: I want to use ClamAV to scan for viruses. Problem: The server/hdds just aren't fast enough to complete the scan before the next wave of backups starts, even if I block off several hours (10 pm - 7 am) to do the virus scan. BackupPC's pooling and compression, which works fine, taxes the server too much with the virus scan running and that kicks in around midnight or so regardless. I had started a virus scan overnight and it's still trying to run this morning. Pooling and compression is also still trying to run as well, whereas pooling/compression would usually be done by 1 a.m. or so without the virus scan running. Question: Is there a way to tell BackupPC to take the day off? That way I could run ClamAV without BackupPC doing backups, pooling, or compression, at the same time and complete the virus scan without interfering with the normal BackupPC functions. I see where you can easily tell it what hours of the day to wake up, but is there an option where you can tell BackupPC what day(s) of the week to wake up on? I'd like to take Sunday, for example, for BackupPC to cease its usual functions (including pooling/compression) while I run a scan via crontab/script. Otherwise standard, out of the box configuration for BackupPC - nothing fancy going on, and about 60 client PCs.
