Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up remote servers over wan

[BackupPC-users] Deleting stale rsyncd.pid on Windows client

If a Windows BPC client running cwRsyncServer crashes, it leaves behind a rsyncd.pid file that keeps the rsyncd service from starting. How can I delete this file on reboot before the service start is attempted? (With Linux, I'd just add a higher-priority initscript. What's the equivalent for Wi

Hi, I've set up $EMailUserDestDomain to '@foo.bar', but it seems like it doesn't get appended. Running '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]', the mail is delivered. But if I try '/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u user', I just get a Delivery Failure messa

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup at shutdown?
