Hello people.
For the machines being backed up over the internet, I'd
recommend setting IncrLevels to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in order to
minimize your bandwidth usage.
I'm popping into this thread because I'm also running outsourced
backups (me calling them remote backups).

Hello,
Maybe increase Full period if you use rsync ?

OK, and what would the above change result in? What would the benefit
be?
Thanks,

Hy Inno,

Hello there.
Enable checksum-caching, modify IncrLevels so that you don't
re-transfer more and more data during each incremental.
Could you please explain more in depth what both suggestions could
benefit?
Also, I frequently add bwlimit to rsync so it doesn't 'flood'
the remote link

Rob's right. Running with IncrLevels = 1 means that every incremental will
download every

Hy Tyler,
Rob's right. Running with IncrLevels = 1 means that every
incremental will download every file with a modification time
newer than the last Full. Using 6 incrementals with levels
1, 2, ... etc, will just mean that files must differ from the
last good incremental to be

I wouldn't do that - rsync fulls take longer in wall clock time because they
read all the files, but they don't take a lot more bandwidth and don't hurt

What can you people suggest? Les, do you have some specific advices?
On slow connections it will help to add the -C (compress)
option to the ssh command. Be sure you exclude any areas or
big files you don't need to back up (like the slocate db on
linux boxes, etc.). If you do several
I would look into online backup services, such as Caabonite, Mozy,

In checking my logs on my new installation I see that /proc is being
backed up while I have it in the Exclude portion of the config. I had it
in that section as /proc and as ./proc and both of these continue to be
backed up each night causing me a ton of error messages.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'./proc' = [
''
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
Is this correct or is this
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/proc' = [
''
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
Neither! This really confused me for ages. The share needs to be in the

I copied these from my config file which is edited through the web

Hey people,
I'm wondering what the preferred method is to backing up Windows clients,
especially in terms of performance. Currently, I'm simply mounting windows
drives via SMB/autofs, and running rsync over that. I like it because I
don't have to install any additional software on the clients.
In my experience, the web interface doesn't have a bug, it is just not
very intuitive!
Try putting / in the New Key box, and click Add. Then put /proc in the
box next to the Insert Delete buttons, and click Save.
Then look at the config file again, and see if it has worked. It does
for me.

Bingo That is it. I was looking at the source and was wondering why was
/proc pointing to blank brackets. I added it and now it is point to the
directory. It looks like it is a Variable (which is probably called a
key) and then you add the value of that variable. I guess like the

Kris,
In my setup I would have loved to just use the mounts but security
issues here put a stop to that so I had to go to rsync. That has worked
on my Windows XP and Server 2003 machines but I am having issues with my
Server 2008 machines but that may be another firewall and security
issue. I am

Also, you can look up the tower of hanoi (spelling?) way of doing
backups. This is what we use on one of our picky servers. It will
basically keep fulls around for up to 3 years or something silly like
that. I can provide a link once I get back to the office in the
morning.
