Hello, We have a server running under debian/sarge with backuppc. All think is right , but my storage  space's  utilization exceeds now 95% required. Also , we want to back up the pc workstations on an usb extern disk with Backuppc. The problem is how to configure the pc config.file in order to

[BackupPC-users] Multi Profiles

2009-11-18 Thread Steven J. Reilly
Hi, Just started using backuppc and it is a great tool. I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple profiles for the one host. For example if you want to backup /home daily but only backup the system files (/etc, /boot etc.) on a weekly basis. This sounds like I would need two hostname

2009-11-18 Thread Jeffrey J. Kosowsky
In the past, people have mentioned that sometimes BackupPC_trashClean seems to get hung and hog almost 100% of CPU. This is quite insidious since what apparently happens is that when trashClean has trouble removing a file(s), it just continues to loop through trying. However, no error message is
