Hello,
My filesystem holding the backuppc pool was corrupted. While e2fsck
managed to fix it all and now doesn't complain anymore, I am a bit
scared that the backuppc pool isn't consistent anymore.
Is there a tool to check the consistency of the pool?

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

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 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
root 1
you have to put this in backuppc's crontab (or use su/sudo to cha

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 used a udev rule (Centos 5) to automatically mount (once) the USB
drive, and then a script that runs via Cron to check and see if a USB
drive is mounted. Then it uses rsync to sync /var/lib/BackuPC to the
USB drive, runs a sync, then umounts the backup partition (thus
preventing the script f

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 bu
