Re: [BackupPC-users] Hardware upgrade advice

can handle at once. In my experience it's not a great idea to ask the server to handle much more than one client per CPU core; your mileage may vary depending on what your CPU core(s) and transfer method are though. Cheers, Stephen -- Stephen Joyce Systems Administrator

Re: [BackupPC-users] Hard links & encryption

our mirroring. I understand how the hardlinks are used (and it works pretty well) but I can't help but think that a database of file references would work as well (possibly better) than the hardlinks... Just my two cents. Cheers, Stephen -- Stephen Joyce

[BackupPC-users] Lighttpd and BackupPC

Hi, I'm having some trouble trying to get BackupPC working with Lighttpd as the web server and I hope someone may be able to point me in the right direction ( as I've got little clue about either piece of software :) ) I've done a vanilla install of lighttpd onto a Linksys NSLU2 NAS device ru

Re: [BackupPC-users] Full backup bandwidth reduction

eaningless without knowing more about the characteristics of the data. (*) And if you're backing up more than a few hundred thousand files, watch your memory usage on server and client. If either begins swapping your performance will suffer greatly. Cheers, Stephen -- Stephen Joyce System

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to delete manually a Backup with BackupPCNightly

em. Once you find the BackupPC_nightly file on your system, read the first bit of the file ("more BackupPC_nightly"). It will explain what the numbers following the command mean. Thanks a lot. Romain Stephen Joyce <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 05/11/2007 14:32 A Romain PICHARD/Monde
