I backup (with BackupPC) onto a partition /BackupPC on machine A.
I backup one directory on machine A, and another directory on machine B.
I recently received a smartd warning about machine A:

Hi,
I need to restore a backup
This works for some folders and files but not for all
Trying various combinations I found one file which reproducably shows this
error, while others reproducably don't. The errornous file is 56 MB, and
direct download via the webinterface works.
Backups also
Hey
I am trying to do a SMB restore. It keeps on failing with an error:
2010-09-13 14:12:23 restore started for share Docs$
2010-09-13 14:12:27 restore failed (Abandoning restore )
Is there anyway I can get more information on this?
Many Thanks

Hello everybody,
I got some problems with backuppc and I want to read the XferLOG.z file.
I can't read it either with vim or nano and I can't extract the file with
uncompress, gunzi,zcat or tar (it tells it's not a tar file)
I search on google and on this forum but I didn't find the solution.

Use BackupPC_zcat to catenate the file.
On Debian-ish systems it's /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat

Hi,
btw: this problem seems to be client unspecific. I see the same errors using
smbclient and rsync via ssh.

And, of course I'm in deep shit now, since I told everone how super great
backuppc was...

Try using
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat
(it's there on debian, but might be elsewhere on other distros)

Mike,
Standard zcat does not work on BackupPC log files:
r...@backup:~# zcat /var/local/backuppc/log/LOG.112.z
gzip: /var/local/backuppc/log/LOG.112.z: not in gzip format
You must use BackupPC_zcat.
Regards,
Tyler

But windows specific? Are you sure the windows user has write access
and the file isn't locked by something else having it open?

Hi, all. I'm running BackupPC 3.1.0 on a Linux server (in my home), using it
to backup my WinXP box (on the same network) via rsync (which is run as a
service under WinXP via Cygwin).
The process seems to work, but it's really, really slow. Here's what I mean:

Hi George,
I run BackupPC on Ubuntu Linux to backup my data. Several years ago, I
was running a windows network with a file server housing all of the
data. I am trying desperately to totally stop using windows, but it's
tough when so many vendors will only support Windows systems. But that
is
