Even that isn't all

I am having nothing but trouble with doing backups.. I have a backup i'm trying to, its at least 1,000,000 files.. it takes over an hour to build the list...and it seems to start coping files but then just randonmly exists, as shown below.. and it does it at different stages all the time, so its no

So are you saying that using Tar over
ssh would be a better option in this case? (Im not sure what netcat is)

Perhaps a better question would be how to prevent the offending file
from changing while it's being read by rsync. After all, a backup of a
large file that has changed mid-copy isn't really a backup, is it... :-)
If the source is a Linux machine there are tools such as LVM that will
allow you to
Sorry, obviously that was for my IT team here at work.
You are a backuppc developer aren't you Carl? You certainly know a lot..

IMHO, BackupPC could use a combination of index data in the database
and files on FS. The database can be anything - sqlite3, mysql, even
ODBC-compliant.. That would speed up some checks, I beleive2006/3/8, David Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Les,
I
am not too distressed by the processor usage, as this machine is dedicated
to baqckuppc, but I am trying to workout why the network utilisation is
so low. I would expect that if two machines had a gigabit connection then
I should be able to get throughput up to around 100mb/s (ish)
When I say 100%, I mean lookin at top
or system Monitor in Gnome, both show the processors running at 100% usage,
not the number of tasks running on the processor.

Could someone please point me at where the format of XferLOG is described? It's
actually the third column that I'm not sure of, but it if there's stuff that
I've missed to read I'd rather do that than keep asking little questions.

Just use the $Conf option. Assuming /var is on a seperate partition:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/var' => [

],
}
If it is on the / partition:

'/' => [

}

Hi
I see, I can restore backups directly, as zip or as tar. I have a problem
with this:
The zip-version will propably not contain any access rights, owner
information and so on. Afaik, zip does not support these.
The tar-version will be large, as most of my data is highly compressable. I
would nee
I've been having problems with some of my backups, resulting in apparent
success but empty backup directories. (We backup the C$ share using
samba/smbclient with BackupPC. The failing client runs Windows XP SP2.)
From BackupPC's perspective, the symptoms are

How do I login to backuppc as different users? I can't seem to find a
way to "logout" as the current user. Does BackupPC have a logout
facility ???
Does the login use cookies or someother way to remember my login ??
How do I clear this???
Thanks,
Brendan.

Hi! i've a little truble, i made a full backup of one computer and i
works well with a full and two incremental backups, but when backuppc
tries to do next backup it crashes, and now i cannot do neither full
or incremental cause backuppc says me the error that i attach at the
end.
the first thing
Gwenn,
I
have tried that, with compression set to 0, processor usage still sits
at 100% on both cores, and the bandwidth usage is sitting at 2MB/s
