Re: [BackupPC-users] Delete files from backups/pool?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar exited with error 65280 () status

I've accidentally changed universal backup settings instead of an individual machine before when adding a new machine...I'd check that first. The new machine works fine but some other starts messing up because it was using the old default setting which I messed up... evets On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at

[BackupPC-users] Exclusion not working with rsync

Hi, I'm backing up my local machine using rsync; see configuration below. Despite the exclusion, I still get /home/steve/Packages in my backup. I tried also '/home/steve/Packages/*' with the same result. What's the magic? # # Local server backup of /etc as user backupp

[BackupPC-users] Unattended off-site replication

t of files expired It strikes me that backuppc could be taught to write all this out to one or more journal files that could be replayed on the remote system after the new files are transferred. Does this make sense? Has anyone investigated this approach? Thanks, -Steve [1] http://www.mail-a

I just depends on any particular setup, and what the most limiting factor is. Sound like for you it's bandwidth, but that may not always be true, even for you, depending on how much your data changes from backup to backup and things like that. I would argue that if you have so few machines that y

I'm deliberately top-posting to ask, did you setup everything the "standard" way and get it working? If not, try that first and then start changing things. The above (below) suggestion may simply be failing due to some other setup issue, not the security issue that concerns you. And I am not exp
