Yes but rdiff-backup has no pooling/deduplication.

I've been scratching my head over this for more than a week.
I have two backup servers running, both on CentOS (64 bit). One has been
humming along nicely for several months now, backing up several servers.
The newer one, configured to backup some workstations, won't start
scheduled backups. I
I'm trying to backup 6 different shares from a single windows host.
According to the docs and
the mailinglist archives I made different config.pl files under pc/ of the
form
host_share1.pl
host_share2.pl
and so on. They are also defined in the hosts file. CleintNameAlias is
set and works

I found a problem. IO::Dirent returns 0 as the type for the directories,

It does return a type 4 on ext3, on xfs it's always 0.
Good detective work.
There is a check in
Hosts with a dash in the name are not resolved by nmb-lookup. I ended up
putting reserved addresses in my local DHCP server so that such
workstations always receive a known ip when on my network, then made a
corresponding entry in /etc/hosts on the backuppc server.

Hi,
I asked this before, but no one answered, so I will try again :)
I am using a large (500G) external USB disk as backup media.
It performs reasonably, so no sweat.
Problem is:
Is there a way to do a pre-check to see if the drive is actually mounted
and, if not, just skip the scheduled backup?
Has anyone ever managed to add a functionality to archive in zip format
additionally with encryption?
Maybe a slight modification of the BackupPC_archiveHost would be
necessary or is it too complex?

Zip encryption is useless.

Hi!
I have some problems with my backuppc.
First one is, that a few days ago the web interface reports the wrong time in
the first status line. The time reporting started at is 2 hours in the future.
But my system time is correct. The other lines in the status window are also
correct.

Hi all
When I extract some data from backuppc on a windows host the extraction
stops at 2 GB. This happens either when I use the archive function
either when I recover with/without compression.
This happens only if working on Windows even if the FS is ntfs.
Is there a solution for this problem?
You'll find your answer in the documentation

since backuppc is very handy I would like to use it to keep an accurate

So I would like to keep 365 day x 10 years backups.
