Hi all,
Just want to say thanks for this little gem. I just installed the software on

So is there any way I can change rsync's MAXPATHLEN ? I have a look at
the config file but I can seem to see it any where ?
Any help would be greatly appriceated.

So it may suffice to upgrade to a later version. It's defined in

I came to the conclusion that tar was actually a faster way to do backups on

You do need to use sudo in order to make sure you can access all the files,
however, so add a couple of lines like this to your /etc/sudoers:
