I want my users to have a bit more control and feedback for their backups.
At the moment I have to add htpassword accounts for them on the backuppc
server. Also I think all email is going to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for which
there is no real account).
How do I get email to go to user and/or admin a
Does anyone have any experiences or views on upgrading from 2.1.2 to
either 3.0.0 (3.0.0-4 on Debian) to 3.1.0 ??
Does 3.0.0 have known bugs that make it worth upgrading to 3.1.0 ??

Regarding the database: I'm not backing up the live file. It's MSSQL and I'm

I need to really speed up my backup of Linux boxes/directories !!!
I'm using ssh/rsync to do Linux backups. As an example (see end for
more details):
* a backup of a 22.6GB Linux directory is taking 2037 minutes (34

* a backup of a 131.4GB WinXP directory is takin
