Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc on the same (server) system?

the problem with backing up a database incrementally is that as the database grows the backups bloat up as they do not get any benefit from the incremental backup. with a database, it is usually better to replicate the database to another host and then do periodic dumps. web pages are very typic

You are listing /vz/dump in the "BackupFileExclude" array. Just leave it out of BackupFilesExclude completely and it will be included. Trey Nolen -Original Message- From: James Ward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 3:27 PM To: backuppc-users@lists.sourcefo

I have the following config line: $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/mnt', '/sys', '/home/ users', ... , '+ /vz/dump', '/vz/*']; But there is no /vz/dump in the backups. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, James

Hi, To do this i recomend you the following: make a copy of rsync to your backuppc bin directory cp rsync /opt/Backuppc/bin chown root:backuppc /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync chmod 750 /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync chmod u+s /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync then in the host backuppc config change the line that speci

[BackupPC-users] Incremental backups aren't.

I've Googled for this and scanned the BackupPC docs and I don't see a solution for this. The issue is my desktop is spending hours creating huge backups on the server. The current "incremental" backup started at 7:00 this morning and is still running now at 12:15, and is running about 21G. Lis

Hello, I'm new to linux and looking for an overall backup tool for a Linux server. My first question is: can backuppc make a backup of a system it is running on itself? Or do I always need to have a second backup host to make a backup of my Linux server? And my second question is: could I g
