[BackupPC-users] Full or Incremental.. What's the point?

Hi there.. Maybe not an important question, but it's bugging me.  I must be missing something.  If there is really only ever one pool of unique files in the BackupPC storage area, what's the point of having both full and incremental backups? In my current setup, i have a full once a week with

[BackupPC-users] Samba share as backup storage area

I'm trying to convert to backuppc from my own home-grown backup solution and I need to get my first backup in backuppc without wrecking my current backup on a very tight windows disk.  Does anyone know if I can create a folder in this disk and share it, and use the samba share as my backup storage

I'll give that a try Les ... Thanks I remember someone pointing out previously that rpms are better than using CPAN and maybe this is why. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Les Stott Sent: November 11, 2007 5:28 PM To:

Re: [BackupPC-users] Question about wrapping rsync

I stand corrected. I would have replied earlier, but my spam scanner decided your message was spam. Anyway, grepping through all of my perl code didn't reveal any system() calls. Not surprising since I generally avoid system() like the plague. I usually open my commands using something similar

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup failed with error can't findCompress::Zlib

Just to let you know ... Thanks to Les's suggestion of trying rpms from ATrpms rather than CPAN, I went ahead and downloaded and installed the perl-IO-String, perl-IO-Zlib, perl-Archive-Zip, perl-Archive-Tar and perl-Compress-Zlib rpms. Seems everything is working again now ... So thanks much

[BackupPC-users] how to restore without using root

I installed BackupPC but the problem is how can I restore them when I'm using limited user to download and upload backup? I use rsync and it can get backup with rwx-r-r permission. As long as it has read permission to files, there's no problem. But how can I restore them if the limited user has
