Yea, the apache config appears good as well. Should I run configure.pl to re-install backuppc and see if it works? Also, if I re-install backuppc, will that delete the backups on the backup dir (/data) or will that remain there? I just want to make sure that my backups are not deleted if I re-in

Hi guys, I've been using BackupPC for over a year now and this issue is a little strange to me. Here's the problem that I'm having: I rebooted the backup server about 3 days ago. After the reboot, everything came back online and backupPC also started fine. But once BackupPC_dump started I get the

[BackupPC-users] When is $Conf{DumpPostShareCmd} executed?

I have a problem identifying when is executed during the backup sequence each command. The Documentation only says to define a command value to: $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = undef; $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = undef; $Conf{DumpPreShareCmd} = undef; $Conf{DumpPostShareCmd} = undef; Perfect
