Re: [BackupPC-users] killing backuppc job after client disconnects
My longest backup is currently 4 hours (75Gb) so I set the timeout to 6 hours. This solution seems to work fine since one of those timeout situations occurred yesterday. It would be nice to find how to stop smbclient from hitting 100% when backup client gets disconnected but low timeout value it acceptable workaround for my setup.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC on OpenSolaris
Spent a day trying to make this work and have just given up! Looks like things have moved on and this guide needs updating - I had to do a lot more work to get the package installer & perl installed and then the link between cgi-bin/index.cgi just didn't go anywhere so there was nothing to run. Might try again in a few days when I feel less frustrated. Soo much easier on Linux, but I wanted to try the benefits of ZFS [Shocked] +-- |This was sent by linker3...@googlemail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- Come build with us!

Check the per-PC log file for warnings or errors too. Can you double-check whether TarShareName is actually set to ["/", "/"] (ie: "/" twice)? Craig -- Come build with us!
