2011-02-07 Thread Boniforti Flavio
Hello everybody. I'm in the middle of upgrading on my Debian Sid of BackupPC and get many differences in the config.pl file. Besides the differences depending on custom parameters (done by me), the main differences I see are like: -$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';

You need to adjust the MaxBackups number if you really want to backup all 20. But increasing this value to 20 will probably slow down backups (slower than backing them up 2 or 4 at a time). Regards, Daniel Le lundi 07 février 2011 à 16:26 +0300, Levkovich Andrew a écrit : i'l try to explane: I

Thanks for the additional clarification! Now just to be extra certain, am I correct in my observation that while Win7 add lots of junction points (which as we both agree are treated as symbolic links), it does not add any hard links. Yes, I'm not aware of *any* hard links used in any Windows OS
