Yes I'm planning on doing cold oracle backups before BackupPC does its

I think that I will go with the option to keep the backup disabled until
Friday at 5pm and then enable it, which should allow the first full backup
to occur friday night. Thanks for the insight.

Having played with backup pc on defaults and decided it was what I wanted to
implement I decided to set it up properly on my real machine. I have a Raid 1
array with ext4 and did a new install of BackupPc.

In order to minimize cpu load on our servers at the office, I'd like to make
sure that the full backups only occur on the weekends. Is there a
straightforward way to accomplish this in the interface or do I need to go
the cron job route?

No SELinux on this system. Some directories are fine, but others are

Use tar when recovering a file for Unix, zip when recovering for windows.
(Tho .zip may be buggy and you may need to use tar anyway).

After our pool filled up (which we have since expanded) all of our backup jobs

Hi all,
A user came to me this morning asking me to restore a folder which turns out to
be some 8,5GB.
Not initially knowing how big it actually was, using BPC I downloaded it in a
zipped and uncompressed format to my Windows machine, then transferred the zip
to her linux machine running 32b Cent
