Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup a host 1 time and 1 time only.

Can I put a slightly different spin on this question? Is there a way to earmark a backup not to be overwritten? In my situation, I just brought up the backuppc server, and now I have a good backup of everything on each box. In the future, I would like to only back up a subset of the directories

Is there a way to have backuppc backup a system once and keep the backup indefinately? I have backed up a crashed PC and restored some data from the backup, however I DON'T want to have BackupPC backup that host again. The PC host is at the same IP address as previous. As well I need to be a

Re: [BackupPC-users] Transferred data lost

Unfortunately, yes. What you might want to do is put some of the larger directories in the BackupFilesExclude folder for that client. Then, do a full backup. After that backup succeeds, remove one of the excluded folders and trigger another backup. Rinse, repeat. This way you will populate

You are correct. Logging in on the command line uses the traditional /etc/passwd /etc/shadow scheme, while the cgi user credentials are in /etc/backuppc/htpasswd. You can change either password without affecting the other. Regards, --b - Original Message - From: Arlequín <[EMAIL PROTEC
