I've recently setup a new backuppc server to backup a couple of linux
and windows machines. One of the problems I have is that I am backing up
a windows XP laptop using rsyncd, but backuppc sees some 'errors' and
assumes the level 0 backup failed. However, these errors are not an
issue (perhaps

I've got a client who is not comfortable just having their data on the
backuppc. They want something they can put in a fireproof safe.
What's the best way to implement that with backuppc?

Is anyone doing windows backups (including open files) using the volume
shadow copy service?
It seems that it shouldn't be too hard to even do bare-metal restores by
combining VSS with fileacl or setacl to record & restore NTFS ACLs on
files and dirs.
Does anyone have a recipe for doing this,

I'm using it to download it right now. It's over a slower connection
(475k/s sustained rate) so it will take at least 7 hours to download,
if it runs at max speed the whole time. I'll let it run and see what
happens. Good suggestion.

Jason,
I'm still new to backuppc. However, as a general
troubleshooting step...if you move the large file to a machine that is backing
up ok, does it succeed?
That should tell us at least if it's specific to the
backuppc machine/config or specific to the windows box.

I will do one more 3.0.0 beta by the end of this month.
That should be very close to the final 3.0.0 release.
