so does backuppc care if the files in the $pool are hardlinks? if not, then
some script could traverse the seperate $TopDIR trees from each server to a
master $pool on some sort of schedule.

It should have stopped doing backups when you had used 95% of the spac

Hello, Folks -
At work we use BackupPC with great results. The only problem has been
with Vista, and because my PC is the only one running it, I just gave
up on it and backed up to a file server share manually. I got

Hello all,
My /etc/BackupPC folder has vanished..
*sigh* I'm sure I know who/how it happened..
How can I use what I have to get my config directory back from backups?

Hi,
BackupPC: version 3.0.0beta3
OS: FC5
Much to my horror last night I discovered that I ran out of disk space
on my backup server back in October (thankfully I did not learn this
the hard way). But I can't for the life of me figure out where it's
gone. Perhaps my understanding of BackupPC is
Thanks to all for the replies. I've read all the backuppc docs and realized
that hard links were an integral part of the design so I thought the answer to
my question would be "no" but thought I'd ask. Since the principle reason for
using hardlinks in backuppc is to use space more efficently,
Hardlinks are a critical part of the backuppc process. At this time, I dont
believe that you can use a filesystem that does not support hard links.
Also, "CIFS" is not a disk based filesystem. Behind that CIFS share there
is another on disk filesystem. See if you can find out what that is or if
Hi,
I'm using BackupPC_archiveStart command to create an "archive" because from
CGI interface isn't possible to schedule this procedure.
My problem is that this archive is in raw format and the file is very huge.
Is possible create this archive in gzip format automatically as from CGI
interface
