Hi,

I'm starting to use BackupPC now and was being hit by the empty share name
issue described at
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13242.html

In resume, if you leave an empty share name at the list of share names to
be backuped your backups will fail with the cryptic message "Backup
aborted()" and no further info.

The immediate solution is to manually delete any empty backup shares you
defined.

The attached patch fixes that making BackupPC ignore any empty share names
at backup time.

I believe this solution (ignoring the empty share) is better than any fix
at the interface level because this solution also solves problems created
by manually edited *config.pl* files.

Please consider this patch for inclusion.


Regards,

Rodrigo Severo
