[BackupPC-users] full backup of windows client succeeds, incremental fails
The Windows schedule backup does really worse because it is easy to go to wrong. Thus why I would rather use third party software to do incremental backup (http://www.backup-utility.com/articles/incremental-backup.html) instead of using Windows built-in backup tool. Third party software is always more flexible than Windows built-in backup tool. +-- |This was sent by demon_brads...@yahoo.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up BackupPC
That was one of my goals, but I discovered that the btrfs volume was unable to handle the millions of hard links needed by backuppc... Too bad.

[BackupPC-users] localhost Can't cd to /root: Permission denied
I am in the process of rebuilding a Backuppc machine (hard drive died) and never (even before hdd died) got backing up localhost (via tar) to backup. As a result of the rebuild I have gotten into backing up the localhost again. I have made the adjustments to "TarClientCmd" and "TarClientRestoreCmd" as instructed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupPC (near the end) as well as adjusted "visudo". (This use to work.) When I run: "sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost" to troubleshoot the issue and the final lines returned are "Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /)" and "Can't cd to /root: Permission denied". Much search engine searching the 'issue' returns next to nothing. This use to work at some point (Ubuntu v14.04LTS and Backuppc 3.3.0, I think) but, something changed and now building on v16.04LTS with Backuppc v3.3.1 it does not.
