Hi,

I understand that incremental backups are hard-linked delta copies based on
the last full backup, but when a new full backup is performed, is this done
as a complete new transfer, or are full backups also built from deltas of

Do you have strace? strace -p process_id should show you any system
calls a running process is making and might give you a hint about what
it is doing. Or you can start a program with strace to see how far it
gets.

This is most probably problem of email server or some
missconfiguration. Try this

I'm still having severe bandwidth issues causing are once nightly backups
to take days to finish with BackupPC. I am monitoring one server right now
by tailing the NewFileList log file in its pc directory. What I'd expect
to see are filenames flying by, but no, it just goes by maybe 1 file every

Wow, the author himself, what an honour!
It's more likely that TCP sockets work.
Try setting $Conf{ServerHost}, $Conf{ServerPort} and
$Conf{ServerMesgSecret}. BackupPC_serverMesg should
use the TCP port instead of the unix-domain socket.
I set:
$Conf{ServerHost} = 'nslu2';

Backuppc is configured to send email for all hosts to one gmail account. All
email sent to the attention of the administrator as well as each host's email
is sent to the foo@gmail.com account. That is to say, the USER field is set
to foo@gmail.com for ALL 20 of the hosts. This was a
Gmail, eh? My first thought is that you might be running afoul of gmail's
spam filters, so the first thing to check is that the mails are actually
going out.

Thanks Les,
This is what I was looking for. Do you know if the daemom needs to be
restarted when the config directory changes?

Dear Craig,
It turns out the code always tries the unix
domain socket first.
I used the bogus name for the sockFile method, hence:
my $sockFile = $bpc-{LogDir}/BackupPC.sockNot;
Now BackupPC obviously uses tcp, because after launching the
BackupPC_serverMesg command, netstat shows:

Jim,
Thanks for the link. This looks like an intersting solution for my
personal backups, even if we cannot use it here yet. I will be following
your work.

So it seems that the problem is the same with the tcp connection as with

Thanks for the help, I now have it working.
Perhaps this is a bug in the web front end as I configured all the hosts
this way. Is this something that has been changed in the debian build or
is it something that is just not supposed to be done via web? I will
grab the current beta and see if this
Hello Craig,
Most likely the BackupPC server doesn't see the first message
from BackupPC_serverMesg.
Is there a possibility to verify that?
I suspect the problem is that perl has a buggy select() or some
other related function or buffering problem on your platform.
Perhaps you could google
