Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup Summary is empty but backups do exist

agreed. an off-topic section should be on the wiki though it should be limited to some basic backup related stuff. i think it is more important to know the available disk space on a backup server than most any other. it is also more likely to be used up! will add to wiki. On 10/11/07, Nils Br

Dan & others, Thanks for the healthy and even-handed discussion. I agree a Wiki would be great. I don't like the idea of a forum, for many of the same reasons discussed. The key thing to make a Wiki successful is committed support from a critical mass of people. As you all know, I've never had

10-4. Here is why I asked. I normally just let Backuppc run and never look at it much. The log from that server is below. The drive must have filled up after 9/25 which I'm guessing is why you see the big skip between 9/25 and 1/4. The 9-25 backup has the files and the next backup on 10/4 d
