Hi, I haven't found a bug tracker on http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/, so I initially filed the following issue against the Debian package where I ran into it (https://bugs.debian.org/808241):
One of the mails BackupPC can send uses the abbreviation "IS" in its template. I assume it is meant as abbreviation of "IT Support": # fgrep -r " IS " /usr/share/backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lang/uk.pm:network during the last $days days you should contact IS to find /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lang/ru.pm:network during the last $days days you should contact IS to find /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lang/ja.pm:network during the last $days days you should contact IS to find /usr/share/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm:network during the last $days days you should contact IS to find Position in the source code (en.pm): https://sources.debian.net/src/backuppc/3.3.1-1/lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm/#L1303 In other mail templates, "computer support" is used instead, e.g. here: https://sources.debian.net/src/backuppc/3.3.1-1/lib/BackupPC/Lang/en.pm/#L1270-L1271 Since "IS" never was a very common abbreviation for "IT Support" (usually just "IT" is used instead) and the abbreviation "IS" is currently associated with a completely different (and politically hot) topic, I strongly recommend to replace those four occurrences of "IS" with "computer support" as in the other mail templates. P.S.: We only noticed this because it has been reported to our IT helpdesk by a BackupPC user who got such a mail and thought it was a very unlucky typo. (Our common local abbreviation for IT support groups is "ISG" and the user thought we missed the "G".)
