You could also write a DumpPreUserCmd script to check the subnet... The point is that there is no need (and in fact it would be a bad idea) to code such a specific case into BackupPC. Rather, Backuppc already has several 'hooks' that allow you to write simple scripts to test this case and many other one-off use cases that might be interesting to various individual users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
