go to /var/lib/backuppc/pc/<hostname> and type 'ls -lart' to see which files have changed most recently. If XferLOG.z has been updated recently (which it should have, if your backup has been transferring files), you can run this command to see what file it's on. /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.z |tail Might be cool if the next BackupPC version could include the output of this in the web interface somewhere. (If you're lazy like me you'll have 'ls -lart --color' aliased to 'lart' because you use it a lot). -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and publish websites with WebMatrix Use the most popular FREE web apps or write code yourself; WebMatrix provides all the features you need to develop and publish your website. http://p.sf.net/sfu/ms-webmatrix-sf _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
