Fantastic, I will do the tests next week. Honestly I did not expect the
change to get through so fast :-)
Craig, thanks a lot for you wonderful work. And thanks Michael for the
initial testing!
Best regards,
Pavel.

Actually we are based on drives only. I could make a huge 10TB tar and
put it somewhere but the idea of conversion and having all the backupcs
together...
Anyway, thanks a lot for your suggestion, should the hybrid storage not
perhaps make the way through I will head in this direction.
Craig,
I very much appreciate your help. I will definitely be testing. If there
is anything to help, I will gladly do so, backuppc has been our major
friend for a decade.
Thanks a lot,
Pavel

Hi,
I am always getting the ssh pipe disconnected when backing up our
internet-based server, using tar mode (both full and incremental).
I know this problem occurs when the line goes down. I tested the ssh

Hi,
Incremental backup of a linux machine using tar (i.e. only files newer

full backup using tar transfers huge amount of data over network, way
more than the efficient rsync.

If you suspect your XFS file system is corrupt,
1.) read the man pages xfs_check(8) and xfs_repair(8),
