Re: [BackupPC-users] Unexplained Error Code 255 - BackupPC

I think the CGI feature to override and make a host-specific item is fantastic! What I can't figure out is where this information must stored. I imagine it would write and maintain a config.pl file in the host's folder on topdir. But I can't find

[BackupPC-users] What is the difference between host-specific configuration (override) and a config.pl for that host....

Never mind! I'm re-reading the documentation and see that in version 4, the location for user-specific config files has changed from topdir to /etc/BackupPC Good idea! Thanks, sorry for the extra bandwidth, Bob--

[BackupPC-users] acls and xattrs attributes

Over two years ago I discovered that BackupPC v3 will not backup acl and xattr file attributes. At that time, it was suggested to try v4 (had just been released as beta(?), I think) and I did get an OS to run v4.0. It (v4.0) backups failed when "acls" and "xattrs" RsyncArgsExtra where activated.
