Yohoo!

I'm having an issue with my BackupPC.

One of the machines to be backed up is a remote box. Unfortunately the
BackupPC box only has very limited external download bandwith (384kb/s).

Usually (and thanks to rsync!) this isn't an issue.

But now there is a 4GB file on the remote box- and the broadband
connection is dropped every 24h hours (f!ck Telekom), so any running
backup process will fail.

This means unless there is really no traffic on the connection a backup
will never succeed- am I right? Looks like, because I'm watchingthis now
for a couple of days.

Whatever, because I have this file locally as well (same file, md5sum
and times are the same!) can I "insert" tthis file somehow into my
backupPC under /var/lib so it recognizes it as "already there"and does
not try to backup all the time?

Thanks for further ideas.


Greetings

Christian
