See: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13698.html for a method that could be used to set a semaphore file based on the realname of the host. I am using that method in production currently. http://www.adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2009-06/msg00242.html discusses your use case, but rather than a semaphore you could use just a lock file. -- -- rouilj John Rouillard System Administrator Renesys Corporation 603-244-9084 (cell) 603-643-9300 x 111 -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Using aliases to ensure different BackupPC "hosts" actually alias to the
same network host.
/etc/backuppc/elvandar_crypto.pl:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'elvandar';
/etc/backuppc/elvandar_root.pl
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'elvandar';

[BackupPC-users] Prevent concurrent backups to a host
Hi, I've split backups to a particular laptop host into parts as the whole lot together takes too long to run, and so never completes as the laptop is regularly disconnected. This seems to work ok, except they often are run concurrently by BackupPC. Is there an easy way to prevent these parts running concurrently? Thanks, Daniel. -- Daniel Harvey -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
