HI List,
Just once more my question
"Is anyone on the list actually running BackupPC on OS X?"
As described below I am having some difficulties in getting the perl
environment satisfactory for using BackupPC and therefore I would like
to hear from other that is using OS X to host the BackupPC server and
- hopfully - get some good advice.
TIA TvE
