Hello, All -
I am using BackupPC with great success. It is a wonderful product.
I have a need to wake up some Windows PC's at night to backup so as to reduce
network traffic during the day. I am using SMB.
So far, my conf.pl has the $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} pointing to a script that wakes

Title: Host Backup Summary questions
I backed up the share on a Windows 2000 Server via SMB, using BackupPC (BackupPC-2.1.2) on Fedora Core 4.
I am confused about the Host Backup Summary.
The share that I backed up contains 77,410 files and is 54GB (according to Windows 2000 server).
I'd also like to hear success stories of implementations in different
infrastructures. F.e. how many machines, what's being backed up, how
offsite backups are being taken care of and such...
I have wished in the past to have an easy-to-browse collection of working
setups, so that it's easy to
Wow - there is nothing like talking to the guy who wrote the stuff! Craig - YOU

rsync has a sparse-file mode, but backuppc doesn't enable it.

The code mimics rsync, and not all the features are implemented.
The notable omissions are hardlinks, compression
Hi,
The Server Backuppc runs on also runs as file server for mp3s
(hotel), due to the high storage possibility,
Sometimes we have following problem:
during backup runs, the server load goes higher and samba
file transfers get shortly interrupted. This leads during mp3 streaming
Is there a way to have backuppc (and all related commands) to run on
lower priority (like running with nice)?
You could try using the -n option to the startproc commands in the init
script, for the start and restart arguments, changing the
startproc -f -p $DATADIR/log/BackupPC.pid -u

It's a pretty brand new box.
Try swapping the power supply?
I had a box with similar symptoms; turned out to be the PS. Heavy load
