while a check would be possible, it's not quite as simple as that. What
happens when the machine crashes during running backups? The new/ directory
won't disappear by itself (well, BackupPC could move all new/ directories to
trash on startup, but, according to your logic, you might just be running
BackupPC_dump manually ...). File locking? Put up a big sign "don't run
BackupPC_dump manually unless you know what you are doing"? ;-)

Maybe there should/could be a way to serverMesg BackupPC to do a backup for a
specific host with a -v switch and verbose logging directed to a specific file
(i.e. make BackupPC_dump -v take a file name argument and pass that over via
the BackupPC daemon). Please remind me in about two weeks ;-).
Regards,
Holger
