Hi,
I'm using Bakcuppc for around 30 machines running XP. The backup method used
is rsyncd.
Lately I noticed this type of messages in LOG file:
2009-01-08 08:34:47 incr backup 20 complete, 36 files, 15289353 bytes, 4
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 4 other)

Have the backups run over their own separate network. This will give you
more bandwidth. The backups and other jobs on the network will be separate.
Install two network cards in your BackupPC and team them. You could even
team up network cards in all the machines you are backing up.

in case you were unaware, junction points = hardlinks on ntfs.
Just exclude all of the WinXP directories like Documents and Settings to
solve this. Vista users the Users directory instead..

Similar but not the same by any means.
Junction points are more powerful and hence more dangerous than
hardlinks.
- Junction points can be on different file systems

THIS since the ssh session keys get in the way of the backuppc key

Hello,
we are using BackupPC and it works perfect on different places.
But we have 2 questions on it:
1. We wonder why neither the GUI nor the commands offer a possibility to
delete backups (full and incremental). If e.g. the backup partition is filled
up, this would be very helpful.
As far

Root does not need a password for key-based ssh access. You might need
to enable PermitRootLogin in /etc/ssh/sshd_config though
Yes! On the client machine I ran:
cat BackupPC_id_rsa.pub authorized_keys2

2. What is real benefit of incremental backups compared to full backups?
Normally they are faster and with non-rsync methods transfer much less data.
In both cases only changed/new files use disk space according to the hardlink
concept of BackupPC.
