The incremental period of 0.97 results in a daily backup, so that's
probably what you want to keep.
My schedule ends up giving you something like this: ~32 daily backups + a
couple of older ones just in case you need an older file.

About a month ago samba was updated to version 4.6 on my BackupPC
server (version 3.3) and since then I can't do a full backup of Win7
machines. Incrementals work, but not the fulls. I get
NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE, but I think that's bogus. I have an idea

So there's basically no point in having just "--sender" - it doesn't make
anything "more secure"? Even through obscurity? (presumably an attacker
running rsync wouldn't know they needed to have --sender as the first
param)?
The only person who has access to BackupPC and its web UI is me. The

I’ll be honest, I still don’t understand those settings after
re-reading several times.
What should the incremental period be here 0.97
I’m also only interested in one month’s worth, so can that schedule be
simplified?

Yup, and the problem is: in this configuration, you *need* an admin
intervention to fix a restore, when the other solution easily l

Running as a restricted user is actually part of the BackupPC
documentation. It just neglects to mention that doing so as described
means restores are blocked.
Having a non root user with sudo permissions to just rsync with the
"--server" param works fine for backup and restore.

Hello,
We are using BPC4 on a Gentoo system, with our home-brewed ebuilds for
install. Everything is OK, except a (minor) annoyance with PC Backup Genie.
We "locked" some directories in the ebuilds, meaning that if we
uninstall BPC, those directories will not be destroyed (same idea with
