I don't know what you mean with SUA environment, but I use Deltacopy in
Vista 64 bit via rsyncd.

Works without a problem atm. Easy to use and you can copy the files to other
computers and easily register the service.

Hi list,
I don't seem to find as much time for posting on this list lately as I'd like
to. Since that won't change for at least two weeks, I'll write a few short

Hi,
anyone successfully using the SUA environment for backing up a windows
vista 64bit client via ssh-rsync or rsyncd?
I failed running cygwin on Vista Business 6.0 64-bit and considered
giving MS a chance ...
Any comments very much appreciated,
thanks in advance,
Bernhard

So, wait, something in you network is capable of sustaining this kind of

I'd really like to hear about the setup that managed to usefully transfer

There isn't one built in, but 50Mb
Just curious if there is a bandwidth speed setting for BackupPC because
I'm not seeing a lot of bandwidth when the backups occur. All my servers
are on gigE and I'm not even seeing 50Mbit speeds between the servers and
backupPC server.

Any idea why it would show 0.00 for Full Size in Host Summary for my 2
hosts (currently localhost, and 1 windows client), even though the
current pool (in "Status" page) shows 13.89G ?

I am wondering if there is a way to setup the ability to backup

Hi there.
Firstly, this isn't a backuppc-specific question, but it is of
relevance to backup-pc users (due to backuppc architecture), so there
might be people here with insight on the subject (or maybe someone can
point me to a more relevant project or mailing list).
My problem is as follows... w
