Ok, so to summerize: You have a windows vista client that is connected via wired lan (100mbit) and backuppc is configured to use rsyncd as transport mechanism. I have never use the version of rsyncd from the backuppc-page but always installed cygwin on the client machines, since it not only off

Hi Kurt, Sorry I meant to put that in and I forgot. I am using rsyncd as it is an internal network and I see no need for ssh as it is just another thing that could go wrong. I am using the rsyncd-cygwin client from the backuppc sourceforge page. Thanks for the quick reply +---

Hi All, I have gradually got my Backuppc server working after many hours. I found that one PC (Windows Vista backing up the Users directory) was incredibly slow (Over 24 hours for 7GB). I forget why but I decided to change the name of this PC from Vistadesktop to Desktop and for a week or so t

yes I had thought of that too and have already added the backuppc user to the "tape" group. permissions are 660 or rw-rw with owner root and group tape. Also the backuppc documentation and even the default configuration uses /dev/st0 so why exactly do you recommend /dev/nst0 instead. Shouldn

Has anyone ever tried this? Firewall (linux) with an permanent SSH tunnel to a remote backuppc So then the machines on the local network think that the firewall is the backuppc and forward the backup data to a remote backuppc (encrypted)? Just curious if it would work, and if there would be

I'm thinking about setting up BackupPC on servers attached to a shared/clustered file system (OCFS2) but wanted to know if it's possible for multiple servers to share the same top level data directory as long as the servers are backing up different clients? I'm guessing that if the servers use
