Good evening,
First of al great product! :) At work I had to configure a backup
server so I decided to use BackupPC because of the samba support and
nice web interface. However our backup policy is somewhat different

Good morning,
I've tested the source now and the one I wrote this evening didn't

Good midday,
Since we weekly want to store all backups on an external HD in 7zip

I was recently sub-contracted to setup BackupPC for a business and
everything's fine so far but I was hoping to make some improvements.
1. On the server, which is a Xeon Quad 2GHz machine, I've got a rsync
over ssh dump that's been running for over 12 hours which is about
