Re: [BackupPC-users] Client initiated backups, input wanted

As far as backups are concerned though; one of the items on my to-do list is to add functionality to add a host to the BgQueue. I haven't tested the 1 vs. 4 argument BackupPC_serverMesg call extensively, but I will do so in the morning and see about adding a patch if Holger doesn't beat me
