http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html

says that NTFS acls are not supported.  You cannot restore your "C:" using
backuppc.

In *nix, are you able to restore your root partition using backuppc?  Does
it handle file meta-data like mode, ownership, acls, access/modified times,
hard links, dev files...?

I was using rsnapshot for backing up user data.  But rsync has inherent
limitations while syncing ~300k files in one go.  Rsync has to keep every
filename and inode info in RAM to check for hard links, and when run on a
large directory tree you eventually run out of RAM and break your backup.
Any backup app that internally calls the rsync binary suffers from this
limitation.


rdiff-backup does better... however, I only backup user data with it. I'm
still looking for an easy way to backup entire *nix and Windows systems.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!
