[BackupPC-users] backing up FROM removable media (3.0.0beta3)

Using 3.0.0beta3, backup client is WinXP Pro via rsyncd. I have an 80 GB USB hard drive that I'd like to back up if it's connected. If it's not, then I'd like the rest of the laptop backed up. I have 'BackupZeroFilesIsFatal' unchecked. Here's what I get in the log: 2007-01-11 06:01:41 incr bac

[BackupPC-users] [Semi-OT] Encrypting backup partitions?

Its a little off-topic, but does anyone use any kind of encryption on their /var/lib/backuppc partition? If so, what do you use and how do you implement it? I (currently) have a 200GB partition for backups, and I was considering using Truecrypt on-the-fly encryption. I'm still on the fence regar

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Question

The BackupPC system is a server-pull model. There is no such thing as a missed backup because the server keeps the schedule. If the server is down, the backups will run as soon as they are allowed to run (taking into account blackout periods and minimum uptime requirements). Making two or mo

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC Question

Hey, I am currently using BackupPC at home as a test of it's ability, and I noticed one thing - if the server is ever down, will the computer know it has backups that should have run during the down time, and then run the missed backups? Thanks! -- http://thecrosstalk.blogspot.com --

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_dump Segmentation Fault

Help, please. I have been running BackupPC for over two years on a Mepis Linux box. All was well until early in the month when one of the WinXP boxes mysteriously stopped backing up. I have upgraded BackupPC to 2.1.2pl1 (using the Mepis Kpackage utility). I have used CPAN up re-install File::R

Re: [BackupPC-users] Defunct BackupPC Process

This was happening to me when I was using rsyncd and File::RsyncP on the server that ran protocol version 26. Upgrading it to run protocol 28 with CPAN fixed my problem. You said ssh+rsync, not rsyncd tunneled through SSH right? So maybe this doesn't apply to you. JH Randy Barlow wrote: > H

[BackupPC-users] Defunct BackupPC Process

Howdy all. I started a backup manually of a remote host (read: backup using rsync over ssh through the public internet) yesterday morning at ~10am EST. I was seeing network traffic all day yesterday of ~600K as expected. Last night the network traffic stopped, and so I looked at the web interfac
