Whatever.

- I help people but have high expectations that if I am going to
  invest time in helping people with answers then I in turn expect
  those seeking help to invest time and effort in troubleshooting the
  problem in advance and formulating a specific question. This is a
  sysadmin-level tool and I don't get paid to coddle users.

- You have no standards for how questions are formulated and then proceed
  repeatedly to give diametrically wrong advice. Garbage in, garbage
  out.

Similarly,
- I spent significant time today reviewing the code and verifying my
  understanding of BackupPC before answering

- You seemingly spent zero time researching the problem and just cited
  your vague understanding of how BackupPC works based on information
  that you admit is from "quite a few years" ago

Who is a more helpful contributor to the list?

Please put on some big boy pants...
