(Maybe this should be posted to -devel?) Unrestricted remote root access by a non-root user is generally not a secure design. There are many ways to restrict the access to backup activities, but they can't be enforced if the access includes unrestricted write access. I think that the secure

Being a novice I hesitate to give advice but I had the same problem which I solved by adding a link apache.conf to backuppc.conf as I found on this site: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/HowTo/BackupPC Then restart apache. Hope that helps GerryMc -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

[BackupPC-users] Hard links encryption

2008-02-05 Thread Robin Lee Powell
I've been using my own scripts http://digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/backups.html to remotely mirror backuppc's date in an encrypted fashion. The problem is, the time rsync takes seems to keep growing. I expect this to continue more-or-less without bound, and it's already pretty onerous.
