[BackupPC-users] Can BackupPC email me a summary of system status?

Hi. I'm running BackupPC 3.1.0 for about 3 years now and love it. It just works. I go into the Web admin UI once a week or so and check the host summary to make sure backups are chugging along. Is it possible for BackupPC to email me that summary? I looked at /usr/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail but

Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh goes defunct but BackupPC is waiting for it

Hi. Thanks Les and Holger for your replies re my issue with full backup not completing and ssh process going defunct. I tried the SSH option ServerKeepAlive but now the backup is running indefinitely. lsof shows me the rsync (on the backuppc client) was on the same little file for hours and

[BackupPC-users] ssh goes defunct but BackupPC is waiting for it

I just noticed one of my servers has not had a successful full backup for over 60 days. Incremental backups still succeed. Full backups fail after 2-4 hours with: Got fatal error during xfer (Child exited prematurely) Right now I've got a full backup running (according to the Web UI) but if
