I'm not sure where to start. First, I updated the documentation and pushed
a change to update the mtime on the backup directories to match the backup
ending time.
Second, I'm ignoring a few comments since they seem like gratuitous
complaining. Feel free to submit a pull request on git if you really care
about those issues and I'll consider them.
If your main config file is in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl, then your
per-client config.pl files need to be below /etc/BackupPC/pc. That's why
putting your N$ setting in /data/BackupPC/pc/win2k8server/config.pl has no
effect.
I'm not sure why the N$ backup and SCGI are consuming 100% cpu time. Are
you sure you want to use SCGI?
You could get real-time output from the N$ backup by running BackupPC_dump
manually with the -v option. You should also increase $Conf{XferLogLevel}
to, eg, 5:
su BackupPCUser
BackupPC_dump -v win2k8server
