[BackupPC-users] owner not shown after changing owner

Hi, Here I am again with another tiny problem. Lately I changed a host its owner by altering the host file. What I noticed now is that, when I look at the host itself, it does not show the line This PC is used by ownername Is there a way this can be explained? I'm using 3.0.0beta3 Thanks

[BackupPC-users] rsync and incrementals

Hi BackupPC users, Just to bolster my understanding of BackupPC's behaviour How are incrementals performed when using rsync? Rsync has it's own method of transferring 'increments' back to the server. I assume these are exploited and not ignored by BackupPC. Could somebody explain to me

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

Hi, I want to have the Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) and not on the BackupPC Server. The NAS supports NFS, SMB, FTP, CIFS and SSH. I tried to mount an NFS Share on the NAS and that works well. So I can use the Data Directory in this Share. But the NAS supports only a UDP

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

I think TCP is a safer connection or plays that none rolls? Also when I click on a PC in the web interface it takes around 20-30 seconds until the web page appears with the backups which were made. I thought that would be better with an other connection. But that time is not dependent on the size

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

Most NFS servers are pitifully slow compared to a local filesystem, particularly when dealing with many small files. It pains me to think about how slow that might get-- is anyone else using a non-local filesystem? brien Simon Kstlin wrote: I think TCP is a safer connection or plays that

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

I don't know if the backup server is configured with mod_perl. I installed BackupPC with a package under Kubuntu. I think it won't be configured with mod_perl then. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Jason Hughes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25. Januar 2007 21:05 An: Simon

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC Data Directory on a Network Attached Storage

If I'm using BackupPC with a local directory the web interface is fast. But shell commands on the NFS Share are also fast. Only when I use the web interface with the NFS Share it is slow. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Dan Pritts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25. Januar
