THANKS. I'm not sure I would have figured that one out. ICMP is often
blocked these days so I would think this may be a common issue for backupPC?
Ok i put in /bin/true and now it seems to be starting the backup process now -
onwards to more testing now. thanks again.

Hi
This is the second time around for restore problems. I need to do a full
restore and am having problems building the tar file. I am no longer

Dear all,
For reference on the matter I was trying to resolve or improve, I have
increased RAM from 2Gb to 4Gb (the max for that machine) and backups reduced by
50% in completion time.
I had wrongly assessed in the past that it was taking 10 days to complete a
