I hear you - I'm not expecting "people" to serve my personal interests. But this has been such an active and helpful group, I just thought the suggestion had merit beyond my personal interest and that someone more familiar with coding would take interest. I can't wait to be able to contribute bac

I don't think you will find many people here willing to code and submit a patch to satisfy your personal feature requests unless they happen to need it for themselves. The leader/maintainer of BackupPC is reportedly focusing all his efforts on a complete rewrite. The rest of us are here as users an

That's beyond me ("code it and submit a patch"). Is there not a repository or a way to submit these to those whom where "code it and submit a patch" doesn't frighten? :-) On Fri, Jul 13, 2012 at 12:53 PM, wrote: > Bryan Keadle (.net) wrote at about 10:50:46 -0500 on Monday, July 9, 2012: > > T

Thanks. How might one suggest such an "enhancement request" - a "trial run" feature that would show *WHAT* would get backed up, but not actually backup? On Mon, Jul 9, 2012 at 10:28 AM, John Rouillard wrote: > On Sun, Jul 08, 2012 at 09:48:07AM -0500, Bryan Keadle (.net) wrote: > > The BackupP
