A copy of BackupPC 3.1 has been obtained from the main Ubuntu repository and
successfully installed on v 8.04-Server. This has now provided access to the
file BackupPC_archiveStart which I intend to use via cron as outlined in the
BackupPC documentation.
When executed from the command line thi
I am struggling to create an archive from the command line. The desired
outcome is to emulate the clicking of the "Start Archive" button in the web

normal backups are successfully created this way. If started manually from the

Nils,
thanks for the quick response.
$Conf{MaxUserBackups} seems to work in conjunction with $Conf{MaxBackups} to
restrict the total number of simultaneous backups that can be run. My tests
appear to confirm this as a user is still able to manually start a backup when
this value is set to 0 an
Is it possible to stop a user from manually taking a full and/or incremental
backup? I have tried setting $Conf{MaxUserBackups} = 0; but this does not
achieve the goal.
Why do this? I have a network in which all user home directories are stored on
a dedicated file-server and therefore not sto
