Hello!
One of my backups (which have worked for over a month) have recently stopped
working and I get thousands of errors in the log file:
attribSet(dir=f%2fetc, file=)
attribSet(dir=f%2fetc, file=)
makeSpecial(/var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost-etc/new//f%2fetc/, 9, )
Can't open /var/lib/backuppc/pc
I had been thinking of writing code to implement a robust fuse
filesystem for BackupPC backups but then I saw that John Craig (and
perhaps others) had started to write code.
While the code still seems to be at the proof-of-concept I think the idea
is very powerful and extensible.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info; looks like (for now) that is indeed the only way to
go from everything I can find.
This restoration will have to wait for a while since I still have the
direct restoration queued, a

Hi folks,
Apologies in advance if this is covered somewhere in the documentation,
but I couldn't find any mention of it in the docs, wiki, and mailing
list archives.
We have a host for which a backup process is currently running (weekly

doing quite well with it here.

Amazing what can be done with shell scripting on windows. I will have to
integrate a new windows host into our BackupPC Server in the near future. So
Thanks for sharing this!
