Greetings,
I just upgraded apache on my backuppc machine and now have a
problem with backuppc's web interface.
Normally, I access backuppc via URL
http://backuppc.osagesoftware.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin
This is now returning

Good Evening,
The drive with my BackupPC files on it is generating "I/O error"
messages and reiserfsck's recommendation is, once a drive is reporting
errors, it's nearing the end of its life and ought to be replaced.
As I'd like to preserve my old backups, I'm looking for the best way

Hi Travis,
An interesting quest
On my gentoo linux workstation I have vmware-server running WinXP home
as a guest operating system. I'm working to configure BackupPC to save
WinXP's files.
The WinXP virtual machine is named winxp-vm and C: is shared as WINXP-C.
In /etc/hosts is:

I've had 3.0.0 betas running fine and updated to 3.0.0 final a couple
of weeks ago. Since things were running fine, there was no need to

It's generating incomplete backups. After running a full backup, I
looked at the file counts and saw that the most recent backup has
approx 130,000 files when my hard drive has approx 2,000,000 files.

Hi Craig,

for this reaction include:

I've got 3.0.0 installed and running. Backuppc is reading the
config.pl file but isn't reading the config files for specific hosts.
As 2.1.2 works fine, so I think the various host.pl files are OK..
What detail am I missing?
Thanks.

Hi John,

I'm sure it's a small, stupid detail but it's escaping me.
I'm attempting to get backuppc-3.0.0-beta1 running on my
gentoo system. I've got both 2.1.2-p2 and 3.0.0-beta1 installed (in
separate directories, named appropriately) and have a script to
create symlinks pointing to the desired version.
Using backuppc-2.1.2pl2, x86, Gentoo and starting an incremental
backup via the web interface, nothing appeared to happen. So I
checked the log and found:
.. User backuppc requested backup of host_xyz (host_xyz)

Greetings,
About a year ago I thought I had found an ideal system backup setup.
Using BackupPC and a USB hard drive, I could backup my LAN and, with
multiple USB drives, even have the security of off-site storage.
Naturally, things got more complex :-<

Tonight I decided to do some experimenting with mailman and spam

I've verified this behavior using a scrip

Hi,
I'm running a machine with 512MB ram and 1GB swap and BackupPC is
triggering Linux's OOM (the out of memory killer) and that's making it
impossible to backup my main machine.
