If what you want to is keep a full backup for the last day of every month,
Why not make a zip dump on those days and store it on a disk?

Hi,
I have a situation where I need a 'strict' backup schedule.
Our accounting data must be backed up daily, with weekly fulls on Friday and
Monthly fulls on the last day of the month. Have mid-week and every 4 week
fulls could mean we lose data. For example, if BackupPC does a weekly full on
We have a setup where we have one backuppc sending it's data off-site to a

same hosts as on our production server so I can do restores from gui. yet I

Yes, only the backup data (pool, cpool, etc) was on the dead drive. The
config is in /etc/BackupPC.
I guess I will try to re-create the backup directories and try another
backup.
Certainly a RAID is worth considering, but the next question is what to
put on a RAID drive.

We've been using backup pc for quite some time, using the old version without
issues. After about 6 months ago and some hardware issues, we decided to
upgrade.
Yesterday I built a box up running backuppc on debian and used apt-get to
install the lot... nice and simple. I've also spent time con
Unless you need the "teamed" NICs for some other reason besides your
backups, it doesn't seem like you should even bother with it. Because
even at 4MB/second, that is still only 32 Mbit/sec, which a 1Gbps
connection can clearly handle just fine.

None. Our network is like Fort Knox so once we have a box running reliably we
tend to leave it alone. I'm pretty new to sysadmin'ing so I'm inclined to
'go-with-the-flow' at the moment.
I also suspected hardware initially. Howev

Often times, and not allows, kernel panics are caused by some sort of
hardware starting to fail or get funky. Is there any hardware you can
start shutting off or disconnecting to test that?

Hi folks,

server. I can log-in with all the services switched off (interactive boot) but
a normal start causes full blown kernel panics :( The server was running for

If you use BackupPC for backups, it knows what to backup each

If I catch what you are thinking of Backuppc already does that. With rsync
it checks the updated files and only backs up those that have changed since
last backup. Unless I am missing what you are trying to accomplish.

We are going to be backing up around 30 MS-SQL server databases via ADSL to
a number of regional servers running CentOS (about 6 databases per backup
server). 10 sites are 'live' as of now and this is how we have started...

Hi folks,
I'm trying to recover a BackupPC server which is crashing. The system is
throwing kernel panics on normal boot up. I can get the system up only when I
log-in interactively and turn off all services. It looks like a software issue
rather than hardware, but TBH I'm only just starting my
