[BackupPC-users] How to copy backups to external/removable media

Hi all, Straight to the point ... I want to copy the backups generated by BackupPC to an external/removable media but I'm not sure what is the best way to do it. My initial idea is just to copy the contents of all the BackupPC directories ( $TopDir, /etc/backuppc ...) to an external media. Is

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with restore

Evren! :) Very bizare thing.. backup 95 shows no errors, yet there are no files in that directory. Going back to backup 94 they are there, but even in the data/backup there are no files on the disk for the 95 backup. 95 backup also shows no errors in the logs. 2008-07-15 20:21:34 incr backup

[BackupPC-users] Problem with restore

[BackupPC-users] expiring disabled host's backups?
