Re: [BackupPC-users] Question about attrib file structure - Help needed

Was hoping to get answers to these question to confirm the algorithm I am using on my BackupPC_deleteFile script. I just want to make sure I am not missing any subtleties here with the attrib files. Jeffrey J. Kosowsky wrote at about 22:51:22 -0500 on Monday, November 17, 2008: Is the following tr

Actually there is no permission problems and all is in the same filesystem /var/lib/backuppc is mounted in a disk. in fact when creating the partials backups with suficient space, Backuppc_nightly deletes correctly the aged backups. The problem arises when my disk surpasses 95% of total space. Doe

Makes sense. New drive is in now getting formatted. I will of course, see what I can salvage off the old drive. This computer was a used computer off ebay and shipped about 6 months ago, it may have had some head slap in shipping. That is why I think lots of drive activity causing the existing

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC DR Replication

I do the rsync route. The key is to use rsync3. If you dont want to upset the balance of your distro you can keep your existing rsync install and just build rsync3 and drop it in /usr/bin/rsync3 or something. I have a 1.54Mb link to a remote office and I have one backuppc server handling backups

I just installed Rsyncd on my XP Pro machine and performed a full backup. Fourty-eight hours later my drive seems hosed. I have run a drive check and it won't complete, it sticks at 82%. The drive check as finding a nunmber of bad clusters and repairing files. To be fair I also allowed the Windows

A copy of BackupPC 3.1 has been obtained from the main Ubuntu repository and successfully installed on v 8.04-Server. This has now provided access to the file BackupPC_archiveStart which I intend to use via cron as outlined in the BackupPC documentation. When executed from the command line thi
