Hi Janwillem,

So far Easy-Backup works very well (haven't tried a restore yet) but the only issue I see is that the email notification are not working on any server.
there is not even an attempt to email visible in /var/log/maillog
Am I missing something?

No idea. So far the email notification in Easy-Backup has been rock solid for me, aside from some UTF-8 and Mime-Encoding related issues during development. Easy-Backup uses the same mechanism for sending emails as "Active Monitor" does (the MIME::Lite Perl-module), so this is fairly straightforward.

If "Email Alerts" is set, an Email Address (or username) has been specified and the logfile /home/.easy-backup/easy-backup.log is present? Then the email will be sent. That logfile is deleted when Easy-Backup exits, so it will only be present while Easy-Backup does and export or import.

Ah and another feature request: would it be possible to add subdirs to the remote directory (now it only allows myremotedir and I would really love to have myremotedir/server01 etc

I don't think I will add this anytime soon. Duplicity will not create the toplevel directory for these subdirectories (at least not on 5209R) and me having to check if it exists and then create it via the plentiful of protocols is way too much hassle.

You can still backup various servers to the same account. Just use the server-name of the server you're backing up as target directory. And voila: Each server then backs up into his own directory.
