Updating the list.
With the help of Daniel and Chris we figured out the problem. With
mod_perl enabled you need to restart apache after upgrading BackupPC,
otherwide apache will still be running parts of the old BackupPC code.

This is because of the way rsync handles hard links, correct? So it's

block-level remote replication, and claims it's more efficient than rsync. I
don't have time to look into this tool myself, but if someone does, and
finds it useful as a mechanism for replicating a backuppc data pool offsite,
let the rest of us know. :)

Just in case anyone cares, I performed a set of tests on this system and
things seem to work OK with --ignore-times still on.
A full backup of a 750GB backup set took 14 hours on the local network,
but only transfered about 4.3GB of raw data in and 1.1GB out. There we
only about 2GB in changed

I've got a couple of cases like this; where a BackupPC server
I just installed BackupPC 3.1 on a CentOS5 system.
It's working, but not quite the way I expected.
Here's the problem.
I wanted to only backup the directory /etc/namedb .
I put this in the BackupFilesOnly section for

Would it be possible to do incremental forever with BackupPc like you

I understand it can/will be cpu intensive, but such a feature would be

Just to let you know Tony that your solution worked perfectly with just the
"replacepkgs" option as you indicated.
Thank you very much Tony & Les for your help.

Hi!
I've just set up backuppc for the first time, and I'm experiencing
something I consider unexpected behaviour.
I just want to mention that this is the Debian-packaged version of backuppc.
If I in /etc/backuppc/hosts have more than one host specified, I will
get the following error message whe

I have been using Backup PC for several month now and love it. I use it as a
