So i have to disable the blackout period. Is this possible? Otherwise I will set it to a time where our server is off.

Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up localhost
Hi all, I don't know what it was, but after deleted the contens of the pool directory the backup of localhost works. Since I only back up /etc I use the same method like with the clients and connet to localhost through ssh. Markus Am Sonntag, den 13.05.2007, 22:27 +0200 schrieb M. Sabath: I set up backuppc.

[BackupPC-users] rsync or tar?
Hello to all, I am new in this List. We have a small office with 5 Mac OSX (10.4) and 3 PCs (XP). We decided to back up with Backuppc. The last few hours I searche the mailinglist and read a lot. But I am still not sure if: * it is better to use rsync or tar because of the resource forks? * I have to install additional software like xtar on the Macs? * How would a sample.pl configurationfile look if I just want to back up the folder /customers? This I can find out by myself. -- Thank you very much. Markus - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
