Luis,

Thanks a lot for your help. Setting this option for all clients (i.e. in
the main config) is perfect, but is there a way to tell backuppc (while
running a backup job) to reload its configuration (re-read the config
files) so that next backup jobs already reflect the changed
configuration? In my experience I always had to restart backuppc.

Thanks a lot,

Pavel.
