Thanks for your comments guys, I do want to avoid the RPM path as I dont
really want to add an extra layer of steps when installing, from Tar is fine
for my needs, I just need to be sure I know what files I must restore.
Looking at the Docs I believe the "ConfDir" holds all that I must restore. I
anyone believes I'm missing something please do shout!
Thanks

[BackupPC-users] Nightly script trigger?
Is there a way (other than editing the code) to trigger a script after BackupPC_Nightly finishes? We are setting up an off-site copy of our pool and I'd like to trigger this right after the Nightly script finishes. I can just set up a cronjob for a time that all of the backups are likely to be finished, but having BackupPC do it automatically would be nice. --Tod -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.

Hi Jeffrey,
All improvements which was provided in the wiki are included in this "new"
release.
In addition I've added:
- remove XferLOG.[.z] together with backup
- --remove will remove a host from the /etc/backuppc/hosts as well as all of
his backups
- (today) look for /etc/BackupPC as well as for /etc/backuppc
All the rest from a diff should be cosmetics or changes which implemented
not from me.
So I would believe you can change the wiki text into:
How to delete backups from the archive:
Put this script somewhere in your path. It includes usage information when
run without arguments.
It will remove incremental backups too, if a full backup should be removed
where the incrementals based on. The incrementals will also be removed if
they are filled. Here is room for improvement :-)
FreeBSD
if you want to use BackupPC on a FreeBSD system, you have to change
the 'stat' calls. Change the two occurencies of the line:
BackupTime=`stat -c "%y"
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo | awk '{print $1}'`
into
BackupTime=`stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d"
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo`
