Re: [BackupPC-users] RE Backup of Windows client ignores BackupFilesOnly

Oh sorry I forgot it. However, my backups work since this morning. I changed the command $Conf{SmbClientFullCmd} and now all is ok for backups. I still have an error to restore but I think it's a problem about the windows share permission. I will check it this day. Thanks a lot for your help.

I just wanted to get some daily status on BackupPC, such as the size and usage of the pool/filesystem, the host status and so on. I don't really want to get a new email after each and every job so integrating this into logwatch seemed like the idea thing. I saw BackupPC_serverMesg and ran it with

OK, so it boils down to one machine on which this happens. All the others are just fine, with what should be the same sshd and sudo config, but there are different versions of the rsync packages, so I tried updating that. Still the infinite hang, just trying to back up /boot and /root and /etc as

Hi, Just recently upgraded to the version of backuppc in debian testing on one server, and have slowly been getting used to it. I've noticed there is a new column on the Host Summary page for "Last Backup (days)" which shows how long since the last backup for each host. However, in some cases thi

When a backup is running, BackupPC create a new folder with the number of the backup. Example : For the backup nammed 42, a new folder nammed 42 will be create in /data/BackupPC/pc/HOST_NAME/. For the moment my backup is saved in /data/BackupPC/pc/$host/ where $host is the name of the client.
