Re: [BackupPC-users] windows and Rsyncd : secure connexion ?
Depends on what you mean by secure. If you mean, is the connection encrypted?, then no. You want to use rsync over SSH, which is perfectly possible on Windows as well. Timothy J.

[BackupPC-users] Send Test email
As referenced herehttp://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/email-problem-in-backuppc-72173/, there was talk of providing a way for sending test emails. It would be nice to have this ability to test/verify email setup within BackupPC web GUI. However, how/where does BackupPC know what SMTP server to use for sending email? Is there a configuration option somewhere to specify an SMTP server to use? Logged in as the backuppc user, I am running: BackupPC_sendEmail -t |less And it shows the email content, but not whether it was successful sending it, or if it was sent at all. I haven't received the email, so there seems to be some configuration I'm missing somewhere. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
