If you are using rsync as the backup method the entire directory listing is transferred first so there is a certain amount of RAM overhead per file. If you are backing up machines with a huge number of files you might be running out of memory. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

In hex it is 2D2D7C0A or "--|\r". Does your .cshrc or ssh login sequence emit this string? This text should appear in ascii after "bad version". I'm surprised to see the rest of that message is empty. Craig - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

BackupPC_nightly gets queued at the first entry in $Conf{WakeupSchedule}
(7:30pm), so new backups are started until BackupPC_nightly finishes.
> At 9am I came in and had to cancel BOX1. Why did BOX2 start at 9:10am,

WakeupSchedule controls when the server queues jobs. It doesn't
control when they start. With MaxBackups is set to two, the cancel
of BOX1 allows the backup of BOX2 to start.
The Blackout settings give more control over when not to
run backups.

[BackupPC-users] Email Notifications - Via another MTA rather than sendmail
Is there a way to setup backuppc to use a different MTA (email system) where it has to provide a url, username and password to send email notifications. I don't have sendmail on the backuppc system and would like backuppc to send email notifications via a standard email system. Thanks in advance. Ken - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[BackupPC-users] command line usage and updating of LOG and status on CGI
Hi Ppl I am trying to write a small bash script that I can use to archive certain hosts to tape using cron. How would I get the command line to update the CGI interface so that users can see whether the job completed successfully or not and also to show whether the job is running currently or not.
