If you are usig a SAN or NAS, it should look like 'just another disk'
to your BackupPC server.
So, yes, you can use them.
The problem Ihave found is needing the backuppc backup storage to
appear as a single file system.
I guess you could use software striping across just about any kind of
disk ima
check any log files you find in /var/log too! messages is a good one to
start with, but depending on the
exact configuration, you might find other log files there too.

It has the same issue with UNIX mount points. Such is the nature of
rsync. I have managed
to avoid Vista sofar, but I guess I may need to build a system sometime.

Yes, the ubuntu install is different from the 'source' install, so the
documentation doesn't fit exactly.
After trying the Ubuntu package, I had to totally remove it and install
from the sourceforge files (not .deb either)
The install went nicely, even though it isn't the 'ubuntu way', it
worked
I don't know what happened to it, but at one time there was development
being done on a 'distributed

some of the systems 'went away'
the data was still there and updated. And when they came back, it was
automatically put back

Try multiple implementations of BackupPC server! Even one 'big backup
server' and several
'virtual servers' to handle special needs.
For most clients, I agree, multiple schedules are not needed, but I too

I think only registered users can edit anyway, if I remember right.

Yes, keeping it all in one place would be great!

I think it would be great to have using ClamAV or AVG as an OPTION on
scanning files coming in from clients. If they are found in need, then
need to be quarantined (and admin alarmed at the end of the backup
period once a day) with the normal information kept that the AV software
already does plus
Where I worked one time, to make sure the clients machines were on at

they leave.
That way the M$ machines got fresh reboots regularly (in a kind manner)

This is how I moved backuppc home directory on my ubuntu 2.x system, as
root:
/etc/init.d/backuppc stop
mkdir /backup/backuppc
chown backuppc.backuppc /backup/backuppc
cd /var/lib/backuppc;tar cf - . | (cd /opt/backuppc;tar xvf - )
cd ..
mv /var/lib/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc.save
ln -s /var/lib/ba
I have a 2.x install I am using that came in via apt to our ubuntu
backup server. I would like to go to 3.x.
Is there some migration information I have missed? Or does it need to
be a 'wipe and start over' situation?
TIA, Jack

Any user could restore any file they owned or could read to wherever

Ok, I assume this is a dumb user problem. ... I am testing getting

I do have Dirvish working with the same client.
