Hello again ;)
I'm using Debian Trixie with:
root@fileserver:~# dpkg --list | grep backuppc
ii backuppc 4.4.0-11
amd64
high-performance, enterprise-grade system for backing up PCs
ii backuppc-rsync 3.1.3.0-4
amd64
patched rsync for BackupPC version 4
ii libbackuppc-xs-perl:amd64 0.62-2+b5
amd64
Perl module with C backend for BackupPC 4
The Backup 4724 has been done with Debian Bullseye and the Backup 4779 is done
with Debian Trixie.
