[BackupPC-users] Multi Profiles

2009-11-18 Thread Steven J. Reilly
Hi, Just started using backuppc and it is a great tool. I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple profiles for the one host. For example if you want to backup /home daily but only backup the system files (/etc, /boot etc.) on a weekly basis. This sounds like I would need two

[BackupPC-users] Suggestion for improvement of BackupPC_dump

2009-11-18 Thread Matthias Meyer
Problem: It isn't unusual that internet connections abort once a day. A lot of providers are doing that. Therefore it isn't unusual too that a full backup aborts and will be saved as an partial backup. If the next full backup aborts too, it will only be saved if it contains more files
