Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem trying to restore to remote host

[BackupPC-users] Browsing backups: view files directly instead of downloading

I'm a BackupPC newbie but I seem to have things up and running nicely. Seems a very impressive tool. One thing that doesn't seem to work for me as described in the documentation is the handling of files when browsing backups. The docs say: Your browser should prompt you with the filename and a

[BackupPC-users] Fatal error during xfer
