So does the admin summary only happen on errors, too? Is there a way to make BackupPC send an email on completion?? (maybe I'll have to dust off my perl, eh) Craig Barratt wrote: > Rob writes: > > >> I've installed BackupPC and it's working pretty well so far with RSync >> (using the rsync

[BackupPC-users] standalone backuppc_zcat?
