Is it possible to prevent full backups from starting after a certain time?
At the moment my wake up schedule is set for 9pm-5am with blackout 9pm-6am,
one of the servers that we do a full backup on each week is running into the
black out period. It starts the job at 4am and doesn't finish until the

Hi All:
I recently 'puppetized' my BackupPC config and moved from hosting it on
physical hardware to hosting it on a vm and also moved from CentOS 5.x
to Fedora, both are on BackupPC 3.1.0 and I have backup storage
available via a SAN, so I merely remounted that on the new box.
Everything seems t

snapshots it too

I have one system where I do backups of backuppc to tape for disaster
recover. Here's the system I use:

Hello there...
I don't know about bacula, but would like myself also to get a backup of
the BackupPC server: anybody got some suggestions and practical

Hi,
there is a regular discussion on how to backup/move/copy the backuppc
pool. Did anyone try to backup the pool with bacula?
I need to expand the raid volume where the pool is stored (Arecac RAID
controller). Doing this without backup is a bit frightening (I didn't
use LVM for the filesystem).
