Craig,
I started deconstructing my script last night before leaving work to see if
the tar corruption was somehow my own fault. I got most of the way through
without encountering problems, so I'm beginning to think I botched the
redirection somewhere along the way. I'm out of the office today

USB drive, runs a sync, then umounts the backup partition (thus

This may be way to complicated, but couldn't you create a loopback
filesystem that supports hardlinks in a file on amazon? I know you can
do encrypted loopback fs. You could even do a journaling fs with the
journal stored on a local device to help with the performance.

I just have a cron job that starts a full backup at a specific time
and then have the full backup period slightly over 1 week.
here's the line from crontab:
0 20 * * sat /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
hostname hostname root 1
you have to put this in backuppc's crontab (or

One more way to do it ( more complex )
Modify last timestamp for a full backup in backups file in backuppc
directory.
like
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/$hostname/backups
This way you dont' have to modify crontab or start it manually from web.

I am trying to backup certain directories on a mounted harddrive and I am
having a lot of difficulty. It is on the localhost and I am running Ubuntu
10.10. My issue is that the paths contain spaces (e.g. /media/Folder/This
Folder). Whenever I try to enter this path into the web config (or
