Re: [BackupPC-users] Resume Backup

It actually does support "resuming" of backups because the failed backup is a partial and the net one will take advantage of the files that have already been transfered. unfortunately, rsync will still need to scan all the files and do checksums and all that good stuff so it still takes time.

Hello,

The backups I run have a size of 20-30 GB and it takes around 5 hours, even
for an incremental Backup (54 Mbit Wlan), which is quite disappointing in
the fist place (rsync, Client: Centrino 1.7Ghz 1.5 GB Ram, Server Athlon
XP1700, 512MB Ram). This would be acceptable, but for some reason -dispite a
good WLAN connection- many backups stop with (apparent) transfer errors. I
can hardly complete any Backups.

Now, it seems that BackupPC does not support resuming backups. Is there a
specific reason for this? Would it be possible to add this functionality?

Greetings,
Hendrik
