Hi Frank,
Before going out shopping for hardware, I'd try and determine where
your performance problem is, ie on the server (due to external USB
based storage), or on the client.
It does seem to me that you are having a performance issue on the
system to be backed up, and assuming there isn'
Or if you are into overkill (or have other tasks that you want to manage
semi-centrally), you might want to take a look at cfengine. For those that
are not familiar, cfengine is less of a configuration management tool than
it is a "promise engine." By that, I mean that you give it promises, such as

I am running backups using the rsync transport method. The docs on
BackupFilesOnly indicate if this is used at all, then only the files
listed there are backed up. To me this implies that excludes are then
ignored. The docs on BackupFilesExclude warn that one can only
specify BackupFilesOnly and
BackupPC version 3.1.0
BackupPC was operating OK on Fedora10, not sure what version this was running.
I have a dump of all files from Fedora 10 so I am able to compare config data.
After upgrading to Fedora 12 it is not working correctly.
The only backup configured is for the server itself ont

First, check your cron log (/var/log/cron on my systems) to make sure
it's actually trying to do that.
Cron should send any output (errors or otherwise) to the email address
associated with that crontab (root for system, u...@localhost for
others, or you can set it with MAILTO). If nothing else, t
Mox,
Are you restart/reloading cron after adding that line? Which crontab are you
editing and how?

Which user are you setting the cron job for? It presumably needs to be
root or backuppc?

Hello
I have a box Suse 11.1 with a service that (I dont know why) every day stop
at the same time. Im finding why it come to a halt but in the meantime I
would like restart it automatically.
As root I insert in crontab the line:

Hello there. I am having a couple issues with the latest beta of backuppc.
1) Is there any way to make a notification go out if "no ping response"
happens? I am using the ftp xfer and I have scripts that notifies me if it was
unable to connect to the ftp server (ie XferOK=0). The problem is
Hi there,
I thinking about setting up a BackupPC installation.
The BackupPC server is located in an Internet datacenter, while the
original data are on a company network that is connected to the Internet
with 1 Mbps. Around 700 GB of data needs to be backed up.
