The syntax for requesting a backup is BackupPC_serverMesg backup where *needs to* match a host you defined in BackupPC (i.e. if you named your host "foo", you can't use "foo.domain.com", "cname-for-foo", or "1.2.3.4" here) and should probably be identical to unless you know what you are doing (hint: you don't; using an IP or something else that resolves to the same IP might occasionally work, but a quick glance at the code suggests that this may break BackupPC internal synchronisation). is informational only, if I remember correctly, and backupType is one of "auto", -1, "doIncr", 0, "doFull", 1 with the text corresponding to the following number. If you want to request three backups, then that's three individual BackupPC_serverMesg commands. Hope that helps. Regards, Holger -- What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?

Alternately, you can use the per-user crontab correctly. Use 'crontab
-e backuppc' to create/edit the crontab for backuppc and then enter in
your command without the username.
20 20 * * * /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup
example-2.example.com example-2.example.com backuppc 1
You can then use 'crontab -l backuppc' to view the crontab. This is
assuming you are running as root as in your example. You can also do
this as the backuppc user. In that case, just leave the username off
the crontab commands ('crontab -l' or 'crontab -e').

Put your entries in /etc/crontab. They will be easier to find there. Here's an example I have: 20 20 * * * backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg backup example-2.example.com example-2.example.com backuppc 1 Use a '1' for a 'full' backup, '0' for an incremental backup.
