Doh! I see what you meant, you suggested adding
link_dest to the rsync args in the config.pl
Is this safe with backuppc?

Hi all,
After looking through the backuppc code, I am under
the impression that BackupPC does not take advantage
of using the --link-dest option in Rsync to create
hardlinks. I am guessing one reason may be that the
PerlRsync module does not appear to support the
--link-dest option. (http://perl

Hello,
We are using Backuppc as our main backup solution for a dozen servers.
One of our servers has a Perforce server, so we need to checkpoint its
database before backing up (it could also be a mysqldump).
Some days ago, we detected a problem on the server preventing the
successful checkpoi
I just read what BackupPC can do, and it just seems to me it's quite a good
tool, with which I could replace my own rsync/hardlink scripts.
BackupPC has quite an extensive documentation, but what I failed to find are...
examples.
I would like to backup individual hosts, both Windows and Linux.

To troubleshoot this, I'd suggest you make sure that you can, with your
chosen backup method, "by hand", back things up. Do by hand what backuppc
is supposed to be doing. eg with rsync:
srv% rsync -av -e ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/share/name /some/dir/on/srv
I'd also suggest starting with a smalle

Why are full backups needed at all with BackupPC?
According to documentation, "BackupPC's CGI interface ``fills-in''
incremental backups based on the last full backup, giving every backup a
``full'' appearance."
So, in theory, it should be enough to make just one full, initial
backup, and th
