Hello everybody.
One of my remote servers has grown a single directory from a couple of
GB to 20GB in one day. Now backups (rsync through ssh) seem to be taking
ages and time-out after 72000 seconds. My question: when such a backup
gets stopped, will the next task consider the already transferred
Hi,
Is there a way to tell backuppc to finish the currently running backup
jobs and not to start new ones? We mirror backuppc partitions to
external drives via SW RAID and need to stop backuppc and umount the
filesystem to keep the data. I do not want to interrupt the long-running
backups but

maybe not the better way, but you could obtain that using DumpPreUserCmd and
DumpPostUserCmd
You need also to set UserCmdCheckStatus = 1;
In the DumpPreUserCmd, you can use a diy script

for huge dirs with millions of files we got almost an order

(which eventually consumed all the memory anyways :) )
How would I be able to use tar over a remote DSL connection?

An rsync full should be marked as a 'partial' with the
completed portion merged into the previous full as the
comparison base when it restarts. I think an incomplete

I'm archiving the BackupPC backup folder (/var/lib/BackupPC) folder to
external disk with rsync.
However, it looks like rsync is filling the links?
My total disk usage on the backup server is 407g, and the space used on
the external drive is up to 726g.

And I should mention, too, that this is the first rsync of a freshly
formatted USB drive :)

Hi,
I've been using BackupPC for a several years without problem but since I
started adding Windows 7 clients, they are only getting partial backups
with this reported as an error:

496652191 sizeExistComp, 3755 filesTotal,

Quick question I could not find the answer to elsewhere.
I currently use BackupPC on Fedora which is stuck at 3.1. The reason
given is that there are now some Perl module dependencies that are
built into the BackupPC package which Fedora requires be packages
separately (no bundled libraries).

we have the same problem like Chris Baker.
Backuppc makes an incremental backup of some folders, but don't copy the
modified files!
For example: There is a file called concept.odt, which would be modified

Following the documentation, I've installed the modules mentioned via
