4 servers with, on each, BackupPC & BackupPC_trashClean running
but these 4 servers write on the same pool,cpool,pc and Trash ( sharing FS ->
QFS )
obviously each servers have a different list of pc to backup ;-)
I have already modified the "BackupPC_nightly" script
to take account this problem : all 4 BackupPC_nightly wait
other servers before starting and before stopping...
thanks
