[BackupPC-users] Some directory are not in the backup

2010-09-23 Thread IvyAlice
Hello Less Micksell, Thank you for your reply. I use the daemon rsyncd cause the security guy told me that this solution is more secure than using rsync/ssh without password between the machines (backuppc is installed on a real server used for other things, too) When I launch the command fro
