That should not be the case if 'new' files are defined as having
timestamps later than the last run. There ar

The reason I asked was because with smb method (which is the only
thing I've tried so far), new files are only backed up during full
backup, not incremental backup.

You cannot exclude something globally, then exclude more per-PC. The
per-PC settings simply override whatever was set globally, since it's
just setting a perl variable. I suppose you could actually write perl

Hi,
How close is BackupPC is to implementing a VSS shadow copy?

Hello again everyone!
I solved the earlier problems I had with rsyncd by using the package
from the backuppc page for cygwin rather than forcing my own install.
Rsyncd now seems to work, but I have a strange error. I have 2 full
backups from when the backuppc operated on smb, and have now switche
Hi.
Using Backuppc (debian) successfully in my company for about 5 months,
backing up 6 winXX shares using samba.
The machine is a simple Pentium 4 with a 40GB HD that is getting full.
Already ordered a 250GB ata100 hd. but I'm not sure what to do...
should I use the 250Gb for the data only, or

Yes, of course. rsync is just the transfer method.
I'm not sure about your second question, though. In fact, a full or
incremental backup doesn't m

yes. AFAIK, more reliably so. I believe rsync is better at catching new
files than tar. (which is what's run over SMB, again AFAIK).

Sorry for the newbie questions here, but:
if I use rsync instead of smb, will new files be backed up during
incremental backup.
Also... if a laptop is unavailable for backup for extended period of
time, does backuppc "know" to do a full backup as soon as it is next
available?

I would suggest that you should just do it by hand whenever you care to
look; rather than wasting CPU
Hmmm... quite right.
bsdtar 1.02.023, libarchive 1.02.026
Funny thing is it actually does do the copy but just spits out the
error. I can see all the backups done (and retrieve them) but I
unfortunately don't get the warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing the backup
completed successfully.

Unluckily, tar is not tar. Backuppc is written for GNU tar and FreeBSD is most
likely using BSD tar. An additional problem is that using GNU tar 1.16 does
not work for changing (used) filesystems due to a changed return code.
Try tar --version and if it does not say:
tar (GNU tar) 1.14
Hi,
I've found backing up any linux server's data works using tar and ssh
but when trying to back up a freebsd server it gives the following error:

2006-12-19 11:30:04 Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /etc)
