With your help, I was able to get BackupPC working. Next I set up my
permanent storage location on a 500 GB drive mounted at /var/lib/BackupPC.
All seemed to be running well until I shut down my LAN rearrange furniture
in the room. After placing the LAN back in service, BackupPC no longer
worked. To the best of my knowledge, the only changes to the systems
(Archiver and Winserver, both running Fedora 8) were package downloads and
installation of a printer on Archiver.
The only thing that I see in the updates that potentially could affect
BackupPC operation was the new kernel. I booted both machines to the
previous kernel and BackupPC still does not work.
I have gone over all of the setup files that I modified to get it going the
first time and can find no change from what worked initially.
(I submitted this under 'Almost Working - Working - Stopped Working' earlier
but have gotten no replies.)
