Hi all,
first, I wanna thank you for a great backup tool and very, very helpfull
list!
Second - there still are some mysterials for me. ;-)
I don't understand the summaries on my host status pages.
Below, I copied a file site/count reuse summarym taken from a host I
backup with rsync/ssh.

Could it be that the problem is with my NFS, because if I mount the NFS it
takes also around 30 seconds until it is mounted. I'm mounting my NFS with
mount -t nfs 192.168.0.5:/home/backuppc /nas.

hi -- i have a couple of hosts at remote sites that i've started
doing (partial) backups on. since i use tar everywhere locally,
that's how i configured them at first. i realized later that that
wasn't what i wanted, so i switched them to rsync, and immediately
did a full backup on each. no

I have backup-server COMP1 (linux) and client COMP2 (linux too). Backup
should made through SSH, tar-method by root. The config.pl is following:

Hi all,
I just would like to know if it is possible to make an incremental
backup of a host every hour.
I don't know how to set the value for $Conf{IncrPeriod} since it juste
take a value counted in days.
Thanks a lot

Hi
I have BackupPC 3.0.0.0 Beta3. I have a windows 2000 server with a few
shares. I have set up backuppc to backup a share called root$. BackupPC
will do a full dump of windows 2000 but refuses to do incremental
backups. I have installed printer monitoring software on some of our
servers
Hello list,
I tried to make a backup by backuppc on debian sarge install, and the
server client is a Debian etch kernel: 2.6.8-2-386.
When I start the full backuppc for this machine, I got a error with
the follow message:

I think there is a quick-fix here by doing a 'cp -a' of an existing
similar host directory to the new one before the first backup run.
That is an interesting solution. That would work for rsync (assuming
my speculation is correct).
Yes, it isn't necessary for

As BackupPC_tarExtract extracts the files from smbclient or tar, or as
rsync runs, it checks each file in the backup to see if it is identical
to an existing file from any previous backup of any PC.

As a start, how about a utility that simply clones one host to another

That would be better than nothing, but if

Because both ends understand the pooling mechanism, you have to transfer
identical files at most once, and that only if they are not in the offsite
pool yet.
I don't think you'd want to count on the pools being identical,
