I've "educated" my users the hard way. We've got home directories with
quotas set up. Then we've

Hi,
I have BackupPC setup and working with Windows and Linux Hosts. I now
want to get the backups offsite and want to setup an archive host. I
want this to be on the same server as the BackupPC server, is this

Hi
Yesterday I downloaded and installed BackupPC. I have configured it
using the default config file and put a config file in the backup
directory for the PC.
Main Config File /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
Backups to /backup
server config file /backup/pc/192.168.0.1/config.pl
The Server config.pl
I'm trying to populate config.pl with the following.
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '';
{
my @ldapresults = `ldapsearch -x -P2 -b ou=SOMEGROUP,ou=SOMEDIVISION
group='BackupPCAdmin' objectclass=webuser`;
die "ldapsearch failed: $!" unless $0 == 0;
my $ldapgroup = join (' ', grep { d

how many files are being backed up that it is taking so long? is it a
bandwidth issue or a file count issue. are you backing up multiple hosts at
