Hi,
my gut tells me there is a little bit of misunderstanding. I am really
glad for BackupPC to being rock stable, indeed. And I do not fault
BackupPC for having parts of my pool somehow corrupted because I really
had some hardware issues the last couple of weeks so I guess this

I have not yet had a chance to run them, nor follow Christian's other
