I don't think you'd want to count on the pools being identical

Have you checked to see if you can ssh from the backuppc machine to the
host you want to backup as the backuppc user?

Hello list,
I tried to make a backup by backuppc on debian sarge install, and the
server client is a Debian etch kernel: 2.6.8-2-386.
When I start the full backuppc for this machine, I got a error with
the follow message:

Hi all,
I just would like to know if it is possible to make an incremental
backup of a host every hour.
I don't know how to set the value for $Conf{IncrPeriod} since it juste
take a value counted in days.
Thanks a lot

hi -- i have a couple of hosts at remote sites that i've started

determines who gets access to which host, it must run correct,
