I installed some new Dell gigabit switches about a month ago. My performance
on backing up server has actually gotten worse. It's a server with about 650
GB. It runs Windows 2003 and has gigabit network cards that I have teamed.
My BackupPC server also has teamed network cards. Both servers are act
As a concept, an incremental stores the differences between the actual

You select what to backup defining at least a share. How you do it depends
on what method you use ("the underlying transport program").

Pst files are reaching 5-6 gigs now, and I'm just about to check to see of
they ARE being backed up, or not!
But what are the limits, using a new version of smbclient? How about rsync

I have my /mnt directory specified in my BackupFilesExclude list, but there
is one directory under /mnt (/mnt/jj/share/docs) that I would like to

If I have to list out everything except that directory the list will be

If that's a Shuttle X29D, don't bother. It's too low on CPU for reasonable
compression after the backup. But you can do this cheap. I run BackupPC on a

Well, I certainly understand the merits of a "server" vs. desktop

To spend the extra money for that hardware may be to not get the
hardware cost approved at all. In which

I don't understand how BackupPC decides when to run backups.
My main backup folder (36GB) is backed up every night at 5am,
which is fine by me,
but I don't see where this is specified in the config file.
The Schedule for this computer states

hourEnd: 4

that was it! thanks for your help. one thing to keep in mind is that
you need the Time::ParseDate perl module to run this script. why

Hi All
The FAQ here
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html#maximum_backup_file_sizes
suggests there are limitations to the maximum size of a file that can
be backed up, specifically when using GNUtar or smbclient.
