Trying to sut through all the emotion, if I'm reading your posts correctly your backup system has, since the time when you started using BackupPC, performed 51 full backups plus I'd guess quite a lot more incrementals. Obviously it all depends on your configuration, but you didn't show us any of that. Guessing that your full backups aren't being run more often than about daily - and a lot of mine only run monthly - it seems to me likely that (1) your backup system has been running for at least several weeks, and (2) this is the first time you've tested a backup. If my deductions are correct, I'd be inclined to say you should take your backups more seriously. And please don't be so defensive when people try to help, even if they're perhaps understandably impatient with posters who haven't done their homework. Humility works a lot better than escalation. Bear in mind that some people will probably just ignore argumentative posters, and you could be cutting yourself off from a great deal of valuable experience that way. Incidentally I'm not sure that I'd want the 'backuppc' user to be able to read private data normally only readable by root, but it's your call and it might even be that you have it set up that way - I don't know. FTAOD I'm just trying to help. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
