Thanks for this. More checking of something so critical as a backup is
always a Good Thing.
Alas, in my case it was my first backup that was stalling, so there weren't
yet any attributes collected.

The backuppc server should be isolated. Having any part of it run on the
webserver is not best practices. Im not saying it wont work, im saying you
shouldnt do it.

Hi everyone,
I have been following the discussions about using Linux md raid1 as a
way of creating an offline copy of the pool filesystem, which method Les
Mikesell seems to be a big proponent of.
I am about to try it out myself on an installation, where users will

Because of limitations of my NAS, I can only run user-space NFS (unfs)
on it.
When BackupPC has TopDIR set to the mounted (u)NFS share, BackupPC
ends up silently freezing at the start of a backup.
I traced the problem to issues with symbolic links. Specifically, with
the combination of the flags
I add an (empty) file named '-i' in several of my key Linux
directories to prevent inadvertent "rm *" calamities.
However, BackupPC doesn't seem to like this, giving me error messages
of form:

output\n

To date, for me, the most serious issue with BackupPC are never-ending
backups, caused by corrupted files.
I'm not sure what causes file corruption though (server crash, broken
network connection, interrupted backup, killed backuppc process,
something else)?
When BackupPC makes a backup, and a
