I've installed BackupPC on Fedora Core 5 and have encountered a problem that I can't solve. I have user backuppc, group backuppc running Apache (httpd) and BackupPC (ps -Al shows both processes owned by backuppc). When logged in as backuppc, if I run BackupPC_Admin from a terminal window, I ge

Dear users, I'm quite new with Backuppc running on Debian, and I am very impressed by the ease of use (configuration, web interface, etc...) One question concerning incremental backup with rsync: in case a file is found to have been modified and retrieved with backuppc, is the entire modified fil

Hi Les, That's what I thought, but this is really the ideal (essential?) feature (almost) every backup software is lacking! As rsync sends only the modified bytes, there is a big opportunity to store only these bytes and not the full file! This would be a huge advantage: imagine you use whatever

This is going to be unsupported, I know, but for my own amusement (and possibly yours!) can someone help me understand the ramifications of subverting some of the tar options during the backups? Specifically, take this scenario: #1 full backup of /  (tar -cvf - --totals -C / ./) so tar backs
