RE: [BackupPC-users] Adding a 300Gig HD to BackupPC on CentOS4

I have looked through the docs and found the command BackupPC_serverMesg backup all to queue all hosts for backup, but was wondering how to do this for just one host. I would like to be able to trigger the backup from the server's console. -- Travis Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---

Carl, I am sorry to harp on about this, but, it gets back to my analysis of rsync under backuppc a few months ago - I still think that we need to do an implementation of File::RsyncP in C as opposed to perl. I have done some memory requirement analysis of a raw rsync backup of a large filesys

Why might I be getting multiple calls to DumpPostUserCmd, and how can I prevent that? I can't see how DumpPostUserCmd can get run twice, since only a single BackupPC_dump can be run per client. That said, it could be caused by $Conf{ClientTimeout} aborting the first run during the archive p
