I have set up a machine to run BackupPC, backing up four other hosts. I
would like to configure Backup PC to write the tar.gz archive directly
to tape on another machine. The way I do it now is to first dump the

The web page mentions that this should be possible. Is it only in the

You don't need mod_perl for BackupPC to work, using mod_perl only
speeds up using the web interface. You do need to setup
authentication though. Scroll past the mod_perl instructions in step

I'm having trouble getting backups to work with rsync. I have two
hosts using smb that are working (sort of), and two with rsync that are
not. Here's the log file I get (the machine name is 'sol'):

I'm able to connect to the Backup Server, but I can't connect to any hosts.
I ran the perl's gethostbyname() function and all the hosts were 'ok'.

Hi Craig,
It does not look like any of the files are changing during the backup.
Also, I think this only started happening since we upgraded BackupPC from 2

Anything I can do to help you debug this, let me know.
Thanks,

The goal here is to keep the schedule at the same time of day.
