OK, I just tested upgrading my install of Ubuntu precise amd64 BackupPC 3.2.1 to 3.3.0 using the Debian package. This works perfectly:
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/backuppc/backuppc_3.3.0-1_amd64.deb dpkg -i backuppc_3.3.0-1_amd64.deb Answer no (the default) to any prompts to overwrite hosts or config.pl. Thanks for including my email patch in 3.3.0, Craig. I love the other changes as well. Regards, Tyler On 2013-09-28 10:21, Tyler J.
