Hi all,
I'm using BackupPC 2.1.2-6 (it came with debian etch), and I'm trying to
have it make an archive from a host using the commandline so I can make
a cronjob of it to make an offsite backup.
I've found 2 scripts in /usr/share/backuppc/bin/ that might do the
trick; BackupPC_archive and Backup

Hi there,
i'm not aware using Perl scripting, but ok with bash / php.
Then, i'd like to know if there's a way to set values for per pc config file

By exemple, like to change only FullKeepCnt value, but, has it is by default
written that way :
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [
Thank you guys for your fast answers.
Sorry for the html, as i posted it through the backupcentral forum, it modified
the config part in html, didn't expect that.
Well, i'm gonna look the given solutions to get it work.

I've tried using the "protocol=28" option in my rsyncd conf file, but it says

Hello,
back again, just still experimenting this solution, everything is ok while
reading.
But, i'm used to restore data on Windows PC using the chmod command
"--chmod=Dugo+rwx,Fugo+rwx" to allow user to read files.
Because rsync runs as daemon under system account, writen files are not

Why not just:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/home/steve/Packages']
i..e, prefix is not required with rsync (only smb).

o the drive
during the day, and backuppc is set only to wake up at 2am. Does anyone have
any ideas as to what backuppc process is preventing the drive from spinning
down. It's a big waste of energy to keep the drive spinning 24/7 for one
nightly backup that takes about an hour.
Thanks in adv
not once, as I can't
control when backuppc starts counting the 86400 seconds between trash check
wake ups. But that's still better than my disks never spinning down (or
worse still, spinning up and down every 5 minutes).

I posted about this a while back, about my laptop not being backed up
due to a "lost network connection during backup" error.
I've tried recreating the shares, swapping cables, sitting at different
