Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3.0.0 - 3.2.0 - Major increase in backup time consumption.
I believe this has to do with incremental levels, usually set to 1, which means it will backup all changed data since the last full. Meaning sometime on 4/15-4/16 that possibly a large amount of data changed. So taking a full should address that issue. If you are going to keep taking incrementals, then change the levels to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.. to only backup files changed since the last backup, incremental or full On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 8:28 AM, Oblivian n...@3056.net wrote: Hello list, We've had a BackupPC 3.0.0 installation running smoothly on Ubuntu 8.04 for quite some time now.

This is for all clients regardless of OS or distro. Is there something I have missed when upgrading? When upgradring I installed the providers version of config files.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Pause backup jobs
Unfortunately a SIGSTOP and SIGCONT will not work, after a SIGCONT the rsync job just dies. I did however have success with splitting the job up on the large volume into 15 smaller jobs, was able to complete the backup well within the backup window.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up laptop as available
You could just setup an aggressive wake up schedule, and adjust the black out schedule for those clients accordingly, of course it would fail every time the wake up schedule tried to backup that client. You can set it to wake up every 15 minutes if you want by doing 13.25, 13.50, 13.75 etc...

I don't want it to be dependent on the user (I saw something about users starting the process themselves using Unison). If there is no such thing, I could of course set a schedule for when certain laptops are in the office. But it would not be consistent. Thanks! - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

looks like a permissions issue, check
