let me rephrase that. If your XferLOG.0.z is really 101GB long, there is
either something seriously wrong, you are backing up an insane amount of data,
or your path names are all ridiculously long. I would guess something is very
wrong, so I'd start looking here (though obviously not through the web
interface). BackupPC_zcat is your friend in this case (not google :). This may
or may not be the root of your current problem, but it would appear it *is* a
problem, so you may as well look at it first.

Clear enough not to be ignored?

Fine. That looks as if some data is actually there. Remember that the files
are compressed (aren't they?), and please comment on whether that is a
reasonable size for a successful backup, or if you would expect significantly
more (or less) data.

Looks reasonable. Tip: "ps -fC httpd".

That means you don't have BackupPC config files? If you want help, stop making
us guess.

Does authentication work, i.e. are you authenticated as a user listed in
/etc/BackupPC/hosts for the host in question? The AuthName directive seems to
be missing a quote, but I'm no apache expert, so I can't tell you if that is a
problem or not.

That one is unnecessary. It's not the web server accessing the pool, it's the
CGI script.
