thank you! just what i needed! in backuppc3 i set BackupsDisable to 1 in config.pl, and set it to 0 in just the hosts.pl i want to backup. This apparently doesn't work in backuppc4. Too bad, that was handy. But whatever, got it going, thanks again. On Fri, May 6, 2022 at 7:02 PM Norman J.

I have found it useful at times to run /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump from the command line e.g.    BackupPC_dump -f -v CLIENTNAME for a full backup with verbose messages.  Run this as the backuppc user. On 2022-05-06 16:22, gregrwm wrote: thanks for your reply they're all 0 already

If you have clients with dhcp set to 1 in the /etc/BackupPC/hosts file, try setting the dhcp to 0.  I had a similar problem, and this worked for my situation. On 2022-05-06 15:59, gregrwm wrote: when i invoke BackupPC_dump it always just says "nothing to do".  why would it be doing that?

2022-05-06 Thread gregrwm
i'm trying to get backuppc4 working on manjaro. it's up and sends me mail like if i remove a host from the hosts file, but it's not backing up any hosts. The logs look mostly normal, mentioning wakeups, nightly, and pool cleaning, but there's no mention of even trying to do any backups. Any
