Another options is travis-ci which has great integration with GitHub. Basicly we can configure the project so that when a user makes a pull request (submits a patch), tests are run automatically. Every person (not just admins) can see right on the pull request page if the tests passed or failed.

Personally, I have only one fundamental issue with BackuPC 3.x, that we rely upon to back up all of our linux clients (including a 3000 core cluster). The problem is that it replaces modern rsync with some ancient embedded version. If that one thing could be "patched" I would hardly care about

I could be completely wrong but, I have v4.0alpha and v3.31(?) running on two different machines and both are just doing their job. Backing up clients at their locations. Backuppc (IMO) has always been a simple frontend for rsync with some scripts that guide rsync (and other programs) to store

Hi Michael! When it will become too mature, it will fall down! The World outside IS evolving! Today BPC is a great piece of software and I use it and I like it, but in a few year without development it will be good for a place in a OSS Museum! Regards FCR SIGNATURE

Sad news. My personal opinion is the Project is effectively dead because none (interested) has write access to the official repositories. There are several clones floating around (several on github, including a semi-official one), but without a central aggregation point there's no way this can

Hi all, I installed a new BPC-server yesterday and noticed on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/, that the version 4 is still alpha and has been so since 2013. Might I inquire on how the work is progressing? Is anybody in the know perhaps? Thanks. -- BW, Sorin
