Hi Tshepo,
Your screen shot shows that the most recent “full” backup was 4.3 days ago. I
merely suggested that the extra data could be newer than the latest full backup.
Incremental backups still contain all data. It’s just that the web interface
only reports the size of the most recent full ba

Hello all,
Sometimes I notice BackupPC stops doing backups. BackupPC doesn't send
out any notifications about this. The BackupPC daemon is running, but
when I stop it and try to start it again, it suddenly complains about
not being able to create the test hardlink.

You don't need to run ssh-keygen on the clients, only on the BackupPC

The installer asks for the TopDir location. If you installed a
