Luis, Thanks a lot for your help. Setting this option for all clients (i.e. in the main config) is perfect, but is there a way to tell backuppc (while running a backup job) to reload its configuration (re-read the config files) so that next backup jobs already reflect the changed configuration? In my experience I always had to restart backuppc. Thanks a lot, Pavel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Next 800 Companies to Lead America's Growth: New Video Whitepaper David G.
