Daniel,
When browsing backups through the web interface (Directory backup history
for directory page), the page only shows version 0 of all files.
That probably means the files haven't changed. That number isn't
the backup number. Instead, it is just a number that identifies
the different
Hi Craig,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, some files have changed.
I know, as I have performed specific tests on a file I know changes daily. In
summary, I know that:
1. That the file is updated daily.
2. That the file is backed up correctly (daily).
3. That the different versions of
Hello All:
I have been using BackupPC for some time successfully with other Linux clients
and have just recently began working with dreaded Windows machines. As stated
in the documentation, being able to backup locked (and open) files really
hampers the whole backup process, especially for
Personally, I use a batch file to install the client. You have to
configure the rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets

That sounds simple enough and something I found initially when doing my
research. However, I do not believe this also can handle open files, such as
Outlook's .pst files or other documents open by the user, such as system files.
I want to be able to back up all of these files without the
This does not do open files. Unfortunately...
How would you restore an image of the PC exactly at backup time? It
seems like you'd need to install, restore, reboot, fix all errors, etc..
I mean, rsync would have to work SOMEHOW... :)
Heck, I exclude tons of file types (.exe .com .dll .ocx
I have a large but still limited amount of total storage space
available, and am trying to figure out how to optimise dividing it up
between the primary NAS and the BUNAS that will hosting BackupPC's
volumes.
The least critical are of course media files, and in fact they don't
even really need to
Nothing will properly handle backing up files currently being written
to during the backup session without inserting itself somewhere
between the OS and the disk/controller hardware.
COTS hot imaging programs (Symantec's (recent versions of) Ghost and
BackupExec System Recovery are examples) do
And that's why I advise my clients to close their Microsoft Lookout when
they go for the evening.

I came across this website: http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62 and it
seems to be rather promising but is rather confusing as-is.
Confusing, eh? I'll try to clarify:
To set up a client, just copy the c:\backuppc directory. Aside from
vshadow, nothing's specific to a Windows version or bit

Does it make a difference if I use ext2 or ext3? If so, how

The program I wrote, 'shadowmountrsync' is I believe on the Wikki and
is pretty extensively self-documented. That might be the one you are
referring to on the Wikki...
In particular, the required files are all documented. The setup is all
pretty automated since it pretty much figures things out.
