Craig found a bug in Archive::Zip, opened a ticket on it in February.
Apparently, they're not too concerned with it. The latest BackupPC

Not an expert so I may get some of the finer details off.
How and why did this happen?
The SMB incremental backup uses the file modification date-time as the key
to determine what should be backed up. Taking the date-time of the previous
backup this incremental is to be based off of, minus a
I believe that those limits, as documented, are out of date. I know the
cygwin rsync had such a limit (but I thought it was 2 or 4G), but that has
since been resolved if using the latest distribution from cygwin. I
currently have one 68G file in one of my backups performed using SMB. Hmm,
We add a lot of stuff automatically to our backuppc configs, and
manually going into the UI and doing the config reload is easy to

I need to back up my Debian server, which mainly acts as a gateway
(iptables) and proxy (squid). I¹d like to back it up in a way that should

actual one would fail.
Is backupPC right for this purpose, or would it
Hi Flavio,
I realy think backuppc isn't the best choice, see
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/limitations.html. I've used fsarchiver
to this pourpose and, if it's needed, you can use backuppc in order to back
up files which are modified frequently, as configuration files.

Hi Flavio,
If I am honest, I only back up critical files on the system (/boot,
/lib/modules, /home, /root, /etc, /usr/local, etc) using backuppc, because I
can regenerate a Debian base install without packages in about 15 minutes,
and with a relatively small package list like is generally on a
