rsync should not(i mean, it is designed not) assume that a file exists under any circumstances. It should still check every file's mtime. I think i may just add -I to the rsync commands. I have looked through config.pl but I only see a single rsync args section, not one for fulls and incrementa

I guess I never thought to say this before but I run 2 local DNS servers. I have DHCP update DNS so that I can have an acurate local name service and dont have to rely on nmb or wins. I find that many network services run significantly faster with this setup. I also have my remote dhcp servers up

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup through slow line?

not to hijack the thread here but this is not just a valid point, but a very inteligent point. Picking a specific stable distro and package list allows a person to maintain all identical setups, document the system and the configuration, and redeploy identical systems. I run ubuntu 7.04 with back

Re: [BackupPC-users] Full vs. Incremental (was: Backup through slow line?)

the real difference between an rsync full and incremental in backuppc are the 3 following 1) a full has rsync ignore matching mtimes and checksum all files while and incremental trusts matching mtimes 2)backuppc has a different keep/delete schedule for fulls vs incrementals. 3)an incremental backu

[BackupPC-users] Samba Transport Protocol

Just a quick simple question. When using Samba as a transport protocol (on BackupPC version: 2.0.2 if it makes any difference) for a Full backup will it transfer all of the file data when it detects a change? Also how does it check for changes, does it look at the modified time of a file or doe
