[BackupPC-users] rsync and incrementals

Hi BackupPC users, Just to bolster my understanding of BackupPC's behaviour How are incrementals performed when using rsync? Rsync has it's own method of transferring 'increments' back to the server. I assume these are exploited and not ignored by BackupPC. Could somebody explain to me ro

[BackupPC-users] RSync v. Tar

I've got one customer who's server has taken 3600 minutes to backup. 77 Gigs of Data. 1,972,859 small files. Would tar be better or make this faster? It's directly connected via 100 Mbit to the backup box. -- Jesse Proudman, Blue Box Group, LLC ---

[BackupPC-users] rsync 2.6.9 issues

Greetings archivers, I've been running BackupPC for quite some time and have been very happy. Today I ran into an issue. I added two new hosts, set them up like I always have (rsync using SSH keys), and was getting failures. Server is 2.1.1 on Sarge. Client hosts are a mix of sarge/dapper. Two

[BackupPC-users] rsync or tar?

Hello to all, I am new in this List. We have a small office with 5 Mac OSX (10.4) and 3 PCs (XP). We decided to back up with Backuppc. The last few hours I searche the mailinglist and read a lot. But I am still not sure if: * it is better to use rsync or tar because of the resource forks? * I

[BackupPC-users] rsync with windows sfu

I am very new to backuppc. I have made an installation on a Ubuntu Server (8.04). The plan is to backup some machines on a small network which has winXP machines. I want to know if it is possible to use rsync + windows services for unix (instead of cygwin) on the windows box and if there are any po

[BackupPC-users] rsync with windows sfu

I installed deltacopy for the heavy duty backups. For the light client machines I used to use samba (before it broke [Crying or Very sad] )It is nice to just ask your colleagues what directories they want backed up and be done with it. Samba is fine for the lighter applications, but for

[BackupPC-users] rsync 3.0 incremental support?

It seems to me that rsync's memory bloat issues, which have been discussed here many times, would be basically fixed by making File::RsyncP and backuppc itself support rsync 3.0's incremental file transfer stuff. Is anyone working on that? -Robin -- They say: "The first AIs will be built by t
