Hi,
I tried to setup Deltacopy for a client, where the windows machines have
Deltacopy installed, and i configured the server on each of them with
different shares (read only) with username/password, thinking that i can use
rsyncd as the method in backuppc. Now when i try to connect from the

Chris,
Resource forks are where the Mac OS stores key information about a file.
For example if a word file does not have an extension such as .doc,
then then Mac looks in the resource fork to figure out that it is a word
file. For older Mac programs, other items were stored in the resource f

I do not what resource forks are. We do not have a Mac server and ultimately
do not want one.

I have not used this product. It does like quite nice. It is a unit that
holds four drives. According to their ad, you can also mix and match drives.
It's also one of the few units that acknowledges the existence of Linux.

We backup directly to an external drive unit. We map the /home directory to
it. It works quite well.

We don't swap the hard drives. We leave the drives in the hard-drive
enclosure and swap out the whole drive enclosure. We have two drive
enclosures. I'm sorry for any confusion.

hi,
I am currently doing 5 Macs using rsync over ssh and not having any
major issues. I do only backup /Users and not the complete system.
I find BackupPC very convenient to use compared to EMC Networker that we
used previously.

I find in my setup the Macs are backed up very slowly compared to the
other Linux systems. It's so bad that there must be something I can
change. I'm using rsync over ssh all around.
Incremantals of MacBooks Pro take 4-6 hours, compared to 20 minutes to

I've used it to back up Macs. It works quite well. You need to be aware of
any files that might have resource forks because they won't be backed up
properly with the regular rsync client. Apple's client supports resource
forks, but as far as I know, it would have to go to an OS X server as well.

Chris,
It works great for macs. I backup over 1500 workstations (about 8TB of
data total) to 10 backuppc servers and get about a 50% reduction in
data. The one trick is to use xtar on the macs to be sure you get the
resource forks.
cheers,

I've been using BackupPC for about three years at my work.
I currently backup 35 client PCs, all are Windows 2K or XP, with 2 running
Vista. I'm also backing up one Windows 2003 Server.
I have a 750GB hard drive for the backups. Here is my summary:

Hi Chris,
The storage will be iSCSI (over gigabit), and offsite backups will be done via
an archive done once a week. Does that sound sane?

We've been running BackupPC for a few years now..
There are 39 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of:
309 full backups of total size 29338.60GB (prior to pooling and compression),
275 incr backups of total size 473.40GB (prior to pooling and compression).

Also, if you don't require off-site backup, go with an internal drive. Some
of the external drives out there still have Linux issues. None of the
internal drives have those kind of issues.
You can get up 2 TB now in one single drive now for under $200. Western

I backup well over 3 TB of data from over 30 sources, workstations and
servers. Fortunately, we have gigabit switches now. Most computers come with
gigabit network ports by default. We use an external drive enclosure which
we switch out weekly off-site connected on an eSATA port. We also two

How well does BackupPC do with backing up Macs? All of the Macs are OS 10 or
higher, which is just a variant of BSD. Has anyone done this?
We just bought a small company in another office that could use a BackupPC
there. They have some Macs.

Hi,
I assume BackupPC_zipCreate read the files from the numbered dump and write
them local into a .zip file. This local .zip file will be transfered to the
destination.
I can't find out where this local .zip file is located.
Is my assumption wrong?
Does BackupPC_zipCreate write the .zip to stdout
