Re: [BackupPC-users] Recovering after Hard Drive Failure

Hi Doug, Just after posting the note below, it hit me that I had failed to include 'ext3' in the mount entry for the LVM in fstab. Once I corrected that mistake, the reworked LVM2 mounts. Now that I'm over that hurdle, I will continue getting the system back into service until the next place tha

Re: [BackupPC-users] Recovering after Hard Drive Failure

Hi Doug, Reading over the notes I had for creating an LVM2 drive, I decided that I had made a mistake and reworked the setup. It seemed to work more like I remember from 2007, but it still will not mount on boot. My updated data is: ken@smbsrvr2:~$ sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/archive/backuppc /new

Re: [BackupPC-users] Not getting mail from BackupPC

That makes sense. How about being told to back up a non-existent file? Would not BPC consider that important enough to inform the user? On 04/24/2012 05:55 AM, Les Mikesell wrote: > On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 7:34 AM, Norman Goldstein wrote: >> As Les explained earlier, emails are sent as part of

Re: [BackupPC-users] Not getting mail from BackupPC

Well, that worked -- I got an email from BPC to let me know about the folder that was not a backup target. On another mail-related note, every time I go to, or refresh, a host homepage within BPC, one of the Summary messages at the top of the page is Last email sent to norm15
