Option B) is correct :)

The offline-backup script generates a small file with the directive and
value 0 or 2. The file is included in config.pl:

do "external-control.pl";

After generating the include file the script calls

BackupPC_serverMesg server reload

Thanks a lot for your help. I am thinking about sharing our backup setup
on some wiki since it is something we have been fine-tuning several
years and many companies fight with proper backup solution.

Regards,

Pavel
