Re: [BackupPC-users] Stopping server while backup in progress

Well, if you stop backuppc with "service backuppc stop" this will also stop all backups that are in progress.

If you are using "rsync" as your backup method, then the backup will be saved as a "partial" backup, and it will continue when backuppc is started again.

Now, if you just want restart backuppc gracefully so that it may recognize any changes that you may have done to the config file, then you should use "service backuppc reload". This will cause backuppc to be restarted gracefully and no backups that are in progress will be stopped.

What happens when one stops the server when a backup is in progress?

I stop it with "service backuppc stop" before doing my full system dump and
I want to make sure any backup that might still be running at the time
shuts down gracefully and resumes when the server is started again.
