It's not a logfile, it's to prevent to start 2 daemon's (services) at ones. 
Which is pretty much impossible anyway (server IP-adress/port in use for one).

Hi Alex,

First of all thank you for testing that, I'm glad that worked for you.

I had some problems when I had a few minutes time to test it on Vista, could 
you tell me something about the version of Vista used and how you used it...?

I had 2 problems:
1. Windows complained about some permissions during 'mounting' of the 
VSS-volume, but I didn't run it as a Windows service (which means user would 
be: system, instead of administrator)

2. I did see problems with rsyncing the /Users directory, links were not 
handled properly, but maybe the default settings passed on from backuppc 
prevented that problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if it enabled the -H (hardlinks) feature, as backuppc 
also uses hardlinks for storage.

I think I'll have to find some time with a Vista laptop soon and test again and 
see if my problems can be prevented by running it that way.

Hi Adam,

I wouldn't be surprised if you are right. That would also be my first thought 
on that matter.

Although when I test/run it on the commandline, everytime I kill it with 
control-C it works perfectly.

Maybe it was Vista specific ? Hmm, I guess I'll have to take a good look at 
that as wel.
