Re: [BackupPC-users] Data integrity checks

Hi Jan, the file based deduplication is baed on checksums, so if a new file is stored with the same name and file-size it will only be stored as a new file if the checksum is different. If the checksum is different, a hard link will be used to point at the already existing copy. But these

Re: [BackupPC-users] Multiple instances of backuppc

May I suggest to create virtual containers with LXC? Proxmox, which is based on debian makes this very easy. Since the containers are separated from each other, you don’t need to do any kind of config file hacking. > Am 22.02.2016 um 16:21 schrieb Alessandro Polverini : > >

[BackupPC-users] Creating a "read everywhere" user to backup Windows profiles

I wonder what the easiest / best way is to create a „read everywhere“ user on ms windows to create backups with via CIFS / SMBFS. Ideally I would like to run a short .cmd script or do a couple of clicks to give a local windows user (let’s assume ‚backuppc‘) full read access to everything under

Hi, thank you for your response. At the moment I don't use disk images. Instead I use LVM volumes which are directly connected to my KVM-machines. There is a way like creating images of the LVM volumes with a image tool like partimage. These images would be compressed like 50GB in combined
