[BackupPC-users] Backups failing, file contents printed to screen

Hi backuppc users, I have seen this before, and then it was usually rsync trying to sync files that were currently being written (and not part of excluded files when they should be), but this time I'm a bit at a loss and hoping for input from the community. On this particular host that is

Re: [BackupPC-users] cpool not shrinking on deleting hosts or changing schedule (Github #427)

Hi, I am indeed claiming that I think files are not being deleted and I wish I was able to disprove this and identify an alternative reason for the behavior I'm seeing. However, I haven't read of a single way to allow me to do this so far. My hypothesis is, that it is unlikely that

[BackupPC-users] cpool not shrinking on deleting hosts or changing schedule (Github #427)

Hi everyone, I'd like to pull your attention to this ticket on Github (https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/427) where people – including myself – are claiming that their pool/cpool isn't going down in size anymore with version 4.x after hosts or old backups are removed. E.g.

Re: [BackupPC-users] A question about partial backups and fatal errors

HI I apologize for re-opening an old thread. Unfortunately we have still not managed to solve this issue or to even fully understand it. We have determined that indeed the Windows client in this example is sending a RST after a random duration, but we we're not quite certain how to get to the

[BackupPC-users] A question about partial backups and fatal errors

Good day, I would like to request you assistance, since I'm trying to understand the behavior of one of our backuppc instances and, if ever possible, find a way to solve it. The set-up is a Linux server that is supposed to back up the contents of a Windows 7 client via rsync over ssh. Now, we
