The file count is going to be quite high.

Yes, I did even try to use the .rpm for backuppc that comes with
Fedora 9 and got the same error as using BackupPC from a .tar file.
You can't do smb-type backups with BackupPC on the as-shipping
installation of Fedora 9.
I will file a bug on bugzilla regarding the issue. I know that Fedor

another possibility would be the Redhat bugtracker on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ - afaik this is the "official" point for
Fedora issues.

Ok, I have fixed this problem. It seems that Fedora 9 ships with
samba version 3.2.0-1.pre3.9, which does not work (for whatever
reason) with BackupPC. The fix is to download the latest STABLE
source of samba (3.0.28a) and compile it yourself and then do a "make
install" to replace the 3.
I have a laptop client with 200gb of data to back up. The backup
always ends with a:

This is not surprising. The abort happens when the user closes his
laptop or unplugs from my network. What is surprising

BackupPC doesn't care how you attach your storage to your server. It
just uses any filesystem which supports hardlinks.

Ok,
thanks for (all) the information, now I understand the concept of
Rsync/SambaShareName, BackupFilesExlude and BackupFilesOnly.
You really helped me out, Thanks :-)
But unfortunately I've discovered another problem:

Hello,
We are new to backuppc (migrating from an old DAT tape based system to disk
based backup) and we have a question regarding full & incr backups.
Our goal is to maintain 2 months of data off samba shares.
We will be using the rsync option (better incremental possibilities). Is just
