Hi Akibu One of two ways. 1.  On the Win10 machine: set up a new shares with paths describing parts of the drive e.g. d:\Documents and d:\not_Documents rather than just d:\    And on backuppc create new hosts with the new share names under 'RsyncShareName'. 2.  Or leave the Win10 share the

Hello, I recently started using BackupPC, and I'm pretty happy with it. I don't understand, however, the point of full backups beyond the initial one. Once you've got everything, shouldn't incremental backups be sufficient going forward? ___

Thanks George for responding. With respect to your reference to: “split the host into two”, how does one actually do that? My host references a certain computer consisting of various drives to be backed up. How does one split that host into two separate hosts and (presumably) back up each of

Hi, Yes you could create several rsyncsharename sections for the different folders. Or you could explicit exclude some folders from 1 share and create a seperate share to create a backup. You can even create multiple 'hosts' with each it's own share to backup different shares. In that case

Thanks Micha. This may be a silly question, but how does one split the backup into several parts? Does that involve designating certain folders from a particular drive for backup instead of the entire drive? From: Micha Kersloot Sent: Thursday, March 3, 2022 9:28 AM To: General list for user

Just out of curiosity, why use 'rsyncd' rather than 'rsync' which to me seems more secure as well as easier to set up and support? George King wrote at about 15:44:03 + on Thursday, March 3, 2022: > No great suggestions for resolution from me but I have some sympathy > with you having had

No great suggestions for resolution from me but I have some sympathy with you having had similar issues occasionally in the past. I have a number of rsyncd hosts set up on my main Win10 desktop - basically one for each disk or part of to keep the backups down to a reasonable duration.   I'm
