Do you have any links to the hardware you used? I too am looking for
such a solution.
Thanks.

I would like to know if backuppc has the ability to not only send an
email if a backup hasn't complete in a set amount of time, but also
when a backup is completed?
If not, is it possible to submit a feature request?
I would really like to be able to email clients that there computers
were success
Does anyone know if i can change the password to the backuppc user in linux
and not have any adverse effects with the backuppc system?

Whats strange is thats how i setup the first linux
Im in the process of adding some linux clients to the backuppc server.
Ive successfully setup one server on the backup server.
The second one is giving me problems.
I set it up the same way, i can ssh from one box to the other as root
with no password.
The shared keys seem to be working correctl
telling me its backed up.
thanks for the posts any other input would be much appreciated.

I seem to be doubting if the backups are actually being completed successfully.
Backuppc tells me they are, but the reason im questioning is because
it is suppose
to backup 10gigs a night (their sql db changes daily) and backup
completes in

Would they need to be separated by a semi-colon or comma or similar?

Some of which are rather large and on slow internet connections.

I am using the volume shadow copy to backup large (12gig+) sql db's.
After the first full backup, and things are changed/added to the DB,
