No problem, I hope it helps.

One question, after my successful install and first backup last week, backuppc hasn't been able to do a second successful backup (it just eventually gets an ALARM and fails).

It seems to be hanging at the preusercmd script:
 7417 ?        S      9:45 /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC -d
 7423 ?        S     66:17  \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_trashClean
17281 ?        S      0:00  \_ /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump hostname
17290 ?        S      0:00      \_ /bin/bash /etc/backuppc/scripts/preusercmd.sh hostname
17291 ?        S      0:56          \_ /usr/bin/winexe --interactive=0 -U Administrator -W DOMAIN --password=mypass //hostname cmd /c c:\backuppc\pre-exec.cmd

From the backuppc badxferlog:

Executing DumpPreUserCmd: /etc/backuppc/scripts/preusercmd.sh hostname
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7

exiting after signal ALRM

Possibly during my testing and starting/stopping I've messed something up, is there a way to "reset" the state on the windows client? ie, to delete any shadow volumes, kill any rsyncd process, etc?

Thanks,
Adam
