I don't know if this is a factor or not, but an implementation like this
sounds like it would cause a (perhaps very) small portion of the
BackupPC user base would go by the wayside. I'm talking about the folks
who have a full time job that doesn't include "SysAdmin" but are trying
to keep a small

Basically any old antique PC with SAMBA installed and a decent HDD on it
will do the same. You can probably buy a used PC that'll do it for $25
and add a $50 500GB drive to it and be in business.

I think a quick simple question...
Does BackupPC care about the 'atime' stamp in EXT3 files systems?
In other words can it's target partition/array be mounted 'noatime'
in /etc/fstab?

I believe! I just had to get some backups built and so installed
sbackup last night on the 3 critical machines, manually ran a full and
let it do an incremental in the wee hours. I'm not sure much of
anything could be simpler, but... a few things a couple of you might

It's that initial setup / learning curve... If was past that I'd be
setting up BackupPC on the toaster oven.

That was my thought... sbackup takes a matter of minutes to set up.

I do have user backuppc set up to be able to run rsync w/o a password
via: "sudo visudo"
which shows:
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /user/bin/rsync
Thanx in advance, Skip

I installed BackupPC from the Ubuntu repositories several days ago with
the intent of getting it set up and running as soon as a HDD came in.
Well last night I was reading thru some of the doc and took a look at
the control webpage and much to my surprise saw that a host was there
(localhost) and h

I am looking at installing backuppc. I have one server that contains a
mirror (RAID 1) drive. This device (/dev/md0) contains a series of
directories that are the mount point for several 'disk-less' clients
(nfs mount point). Across these directories is a great deal of
duplication (OS images).
