[BackupPC-users] Partial backups

2007-05-13 Thread Jason M. Kusar
Ok, now that I know how to view log files from the command line (guess I should check the bin dir first from now on :-), it looks like when a partial backup is saved, it only contains individual shares that were actually backed up completely. I have a server with four separate partitions that

[BackupPC-users] Status of rsync backup

2007-05-13 Thread Jason M. Kusar
Is there any way to tell the status of an on-going rsync backup? Ideally, I'd like to see how many file have been backed up, how many are left, how many were skipped because they're already there, etc. I know this is possible with the command line rsync via the --progress option, but I'm not

[BackupPC-users] Backups stalling for no apparent reason

Hi all, I'm having a problem with my backup system that just showed up today. When doing a backup, the whole thing seems to just stall for no reason. While watching top, I noticed that the system is idle and BackupPC_dump is nowhere on the list of active processes. This will last for several

Hi all, I'm currently using BackupPC to back up our network. However, I have one server that has over a terrabyte of data. I am currently running a full backup that has been running since Friday morning. I have no idea how much more it has to go. My question is if there is a way to avoid ev
