I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply. It may make better sense to have multiple servers for a bit anyways. Hopefully soon we will be getting a dedicated Dell server for this so I can just set it up to do backups and leave the current ones in archive mode until at such a time that the data is

To simplify what I am trying to accomplish I will explain it this way: We currently have 2 backuppc servers. Both have 2x 1TB drives in a Raid1 array. What I want to do is move all the drives into one machine and set it up as a Raid5. That would give us 3TB usable rather than 2TB usable. Hence why

I was able to get a full backup on 3 of the 4 servers. Two of them I was able to take the backuppc machine to the location and the third it was small enough to be able to complete over the T1. However we have one remaining remote location that has approximately 309GB of data that needs backing up.

Hi all. I have backuppc installed and working as I want it too but I have an issue when trying to restore a windows backup. All permissions are correct and no failures except when restoring to a window machines. I think the problem is the trailing slashes. They are forward slashed instead of bac
