If you haven't intentionally turned off the 'locate' nightly indexing update because it is too big you can probably just 'locate filename' and mentally adjust the name mangling to see where you have copies of what you want. That will miss anything updated after the night's run, but its faster than anything else will be. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I'm currently not finding much time for BackupPC stuff. It's not the only thing I promised someone that I haven't gotten around to yet :(. The "few days" were a bit optimistic, I guess, but you didn't sound as if it was urgent. Several people have asked about searching for files in backups. I guess that could be integrated (maybe as '-f regexp' option), and a '-l' for listing file attributes might come in handy too. On the other hand, a BackupPC_find approach for searching could equally be used to list all files (with -print for names only or -ls for stats).

This actually works for my current purpose (I would like to send daily
eMails containing the changes in a filesystem - so one notices unwanted,
accidental changes.) Thank you.

That would be great!
I think it is always useful to have some kind of
lsbackuppc -h HOST -n DUMPNUM -s SHARE PATH...

indeed. If you're happy with an unfilled view (i.e. you only need to see the
changed files in the backup (or all files in case of a full backup or filled
incremental)), try something like
% cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname/backupnum
% find . -type f -name f\* -print | perl -I /usr/share/backuppc/lib \
-MBackupPC::Lib -pe 'BEGIN { $bpc = new BackupPC::Lib; }
$_ = $bpc -> fileNameUnmangle ($_);'
(change the two paths to match your setup).
This also does not show file attributes (but you didn't say you wanted
them). For a filled view including attributes it's probably a bit more
complicated. If you need that and can wait a few days, I'd be willing to
hack something together.

Holger

Hello, how can I get a list of backed up files via the command line? Currently I use /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h amaretto_fotos -n -1 -s Fotos . \ | tar tf - But this is quite slow.
