2015-12-24 Thread Micha Silver
I have come across a problem with shares on windows servers and pc's. My backup server runs CentOS 7 with BackupPC version 3.3.1. I have a few remote Linux and Windows servers that are backed up for over a year now. The windows machines all use smb for backup. Linux all r

Ah my mistake, although I do not use the smb backup solution, I found that the incremental smbclient command uses a -TcN $timeStampFile which should only backup the files newer than the $timeStampFile. It looks like it is really an incremental backup to me. Met vriendelijke groet, Micha Ke

[BackupPC-users] samba backup operation

2015-12-24 Thread Philip Parsons (Velindre - Medical Physics)
