i have done some experimenting and i have come to the conclusion that mounting the target drive directly to /var/lib/backuppc works the best. changing $TopDIR seems to mess with file size totals in the web gui and the sym link does other small inconsistancies. just cp -R /var/lib/backuppc/ /targe

[BackupPC-users] bug in 3.1.0 with new hardlink test

2007-12-02 Thread Les Stott

[BackupPC-users] (no subject)

2007-12-02 Thread Gene Horodecki
I have had a bad thing happen to me two times now.  I have a laptop that I want to back up sporadically as it comes online.  For the last 48 hours or so the laptop has been sitting in suspend and therefore showing 'no ping' status.  Great.  However, for some reason, BackupPC still kicked off an inc
