Hi, After a system crash and restore the famous rrdtool graphic (a patch in the debian package of BackupPC 3.1.0) didn't be shown in an actual version. It seems that the graphic from before the crash will be shown. The /var/lib/backuppc/log/pool.rrd as well as /var/log/backuppc/pool.rrd seems to b

2010-12-13 Thread Jeffrey J. Kosowsky
For reasons I can explain later, I am trying to set $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} in the main routine of BackupPC_dump (I am actually trying to do something a bit more complex but this is easier to understand). Now since %Conf = $bpc->Conf(), I would have thought that for example setting $Conf{RsyncPasswd}
