I have been doing it that way for years for a couple of my machines that need to be
backed up at a particular time. Still seems to work fine on v4.
$ /path/to/BackupPC_serverMesg backup clientName clientName backuppc 1
The client name is repeated twice. I remember reading the reason for this at one
time, but I can't remember now. The number at the end is 1 for a full backup and 0
for an incremental. Should be run as the backuppc user.

Hi,
i found an old command in the net: "/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg
backup host.example.tld host.example.tld backuppc 1". Is it safe to use this one
from command line?
thx

Hi,
ok after some tests i find "BackupPC_serverMesg status host..." to get
information about specific host.
That helps a lot.

That would be an *awful* idea for more reasons than I can count.
Beyond that, it's generally *not( a good idea to regularly trigger
backups manually anyway except for special reasons such as testing or
if you need to generate a single backup now versus waiting for the
internal scheduling algorithm to kick in.
If you do need to *occasionally* trigger a manual backup, you shoud
use Backuppc_dump.
