I'm using BackupPC 3.1.0 and I'm having problems with rsync clients running out of memory and crashing (the Linux kernel's OOM-Killer is unleashed, wreaking all sorts of havoc). Apparently this is a known problem if a lot of files are being synced and one or both ends of the rsync transfer is

[BackupPC-users] patch for auto-detection of Bonjour (apple) clients for 3.2

2009-08-13 Thread James Kyle
I patched BackupPC_dump to look for bonjour clients. My apologies if this is not the most correct way to do so. What this allows is: If you have an apple client with hostname foo and Bonjour name foo.local, you can enter the client's name as "foo" and backuppc_dump will auto-detect its bon
