First off, thanks for sending your changes to the file. I just woke up

that fixes

The versions before 3.0.0 didn't follow the Linux File Hierarchy
Standard (FHS), which is a standard (use Google to find it!) that
specifies where files of each type should go. For example,

Howdy ya'll. I'm using rsyncd as the transport mechanism for BackupPC
3.0.0, and the backup is finishing fine, but lots of files and folders
are giving me errors such as:
Remote[1]: rsync: opendir "/lost+found" (in root) failed: Permission

OK, so I am trying to backup a windows client (vista, if that matters) (I've
always just done Linux and Mac clients before) and I decided to just go with
the smb transfer scheme. I have put these four lines in my per-pc config
file for the machine:
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'rpbarlow';

Have you checked to see if you can ssh from the backuppc machine to the
host you want to backup as the backuppc user?

I just got a shiny old G3 and would like to add it to my Backup PC
pool. However, I'm not sure what would be the best protocol to use for
the backup. I've been thinking about setting up an rsync daemon (using
the --daemon option and making a StartupItem in OSX to start it
automatically with the m
upServerName where you can access the files. Also, check the

Is the backuppc data partition running out of space? This same error happened
to me when that was the case...

This actually depends on how old your machine is.

I have had some issues in getting rsync to work properly with backuppc,
