I installed BackupPC 2.1.2-5 on an Ubuntu 6.10 server system for local
backups. The only tailoring I needed to do was:
* defined the directories to be backed up
* modified $Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C
$shareName+'
. ' --totals';
* added

I suspect it is the last line. In lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Tar.pm, try
changing:
if ( /^Total bytes written: / ) {
to
if ( /^Total bytes (written|read): / ) {
I should mention this is another change in tar 1-16. Tar 1-15 doesn't
print the string Total bytes read.
Craig, fix to Tar.pm worked like a charm!
Thanks, Norbert
PS. Great application! Does everything I want it to do, with very little
effort on my part. I successfully tested out archiving today as a means
of creating monthly offline backups. Next step is backing up Windows
