One of the main reasons I like xfs is the tool xfs_copy. This will
allow you to copy a backuppc pool filesystem quickly and efficiently.
BackupPC pools have too many hardlinks to mak

I don't know anything about clonezilla, but it sounds similar. xfs

For backing up my BackupPC pool I've found that using xfs on top of
lvm to be a great solution.
lvm allows you to make a snapshot of the pool. This is nice if you
only have a small window between when your servers stop backing up and
your users workstations start.
xfs has a great tool called xfs_

I have BackupPC 3.2 on SLES 11 and it is working fine. I think the
issue with the premature end error is that sperl is not setuid by
default. just run 'sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/sperl5.10.0'. Be warned
that this was done for security reasons. If you have BackupPC or any
other perl scripts exposed to
Actually, that's not quite the whole picture. BackupPC does do dns
name lookup and those calls are not IPv6 compatible. Once such
instance is in bin/BackupPC_dump line 503. The gethostbyname()
function (at least last time I tried to do IPv6 with BackupPC) does
not support IPv6. This causes BackupP
I just have a cron job that starts a full backup at a specific time
and then have the full backup period slightly over 1 week.
here's the line from crontab:
0 20 * * sat /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup

you have to put this in backuppc's crontab (or use su/sudo to cha
This may be way to complicated, but couldn't you create a loopback
filesystem that supports hardlinks in a file on amazon? I know you can
do encrypted loopback fs. You could even do a journaling fs with the
journal stored on a local device to help with the performance.

We recently bought two of these:

One of them is installed and works fine. The other arrived damaged and
I'm waiting to get it replaced.
The great thing about these enclosures is that they don't need any

Is there a way (other than editing the code) to trigger a script after
BackupPC_Nightly finishes? We are setting up an off-site copy of our
pool and I'd like to trigger this right after the Nightly script

we are in this situation is I just moved from an old server
with really slow processors to a new server. We didn't compress the
data on the old server because of the cpu bottleneck, but now there
should be plenty of horsepower.
Thanks,

The changelog states that BackupPC_compressPool was removed in
3.2.0beta0. Is there a replacement for this? I have an uncompressed
pool I would like to convert to compressed.
Thanks,
