Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if /var/lib/backuppc is full,
BackupPC will simply not perform any backups. I'd like an option to
automatically delete the oldest backup in order to perform a new backup.
This is similar to the way MythTV works, if anybody's familiar with
that. When
I think that you could do this with a bash script in cron. do a `df
/var/lib/backuppc`, determine if the drive is over the limit, which you can
include the backuppc config file and use that variable in there for
percentage, then if you are over that percent do an `ls -l $TopDIR/pc/` and
choose th
Thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can work this into a script and
post back.
For future releases, I'd really love to see this as a config option in
the CGI interface (hint, hint!)

I'd like to make the CGI interface a little less overwhelming for my
non-technical users. Could somebody give me advice on how to edit it?
I really know nothing about CGI, but I hope that I can rely on my logic
to figure out what lines of code do what.
I'm hoping I can have both a simple and t

Rsync never needs to do a full transfer, except for the first backup.
BackupPC still does a "full backup" using rsync, but that doesn't mean
"full transfer". It means
You can reuse my script "BackupPC_deleteBackup":
http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/How+to+delete+backups
It will delete a specified backup-number and all incrementals depends on it
if it is a full backup. Furthermore it will modify the pc//backups.
Last but not least it can start BackupPC_nig
Hi,
I'm still struggling to enable backuppc to backup on of my windows xp
notebooks (Roadwarrior).
After my request a few days ago, I followed the tips mentioned there and
installed OpenVPN on the IPCop Firewall in order to have a secure
connection from the Notebook (called x31) to the Bac

?? How is the interface complicated? I have a number of VERY low tech users
that are capable of using the standard interface to backup their computers.
I man a fairly simple PDF walk through for them as a refernce and I have
virtually zero issues.
Are you trying to avoid a potential issue or do y
instead of using the entry in /etc/hosts, just put the IP in client alias in
the hosts config file. backuppc uses nmblookup to resolve IP from HOSTNAME
and nmblookup does not check /etc/hosts.
