Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc 4.0 usage

For what it's worth, here my info as well:

I'm backing up 8 hosts, including 1 Windows 7 host, since Nov 2014, with bpc 4.0a3

- Backup server: a small 3TB lacie-cloudbox (256MB memory!)
- Hosts: 8 hosts since Nov 2014 (7 linux + 1 win 7)

The Win 7 host:
- 900 GB data
- incr every day (~30min), full every 4 weeks (150min).
- backup with rsyncd (http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/3.0.9.0/)
- very stable backup, never failed, no error (except a few locked files).
- I exclude all junctions and have a huge exception list (see below).

Kind regards,
Michaël

David,

On your W7 clients, what is your backup method of choice? SMB or rsync or rsyncd?

And what did you use to configure the W7 client? Cygwin? Michael Stowe?

Do you use "junction points" or do you have an extensive "exclude" list?

Or are you primarily backing up your "My Documents" only and not the OS?

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc 4.0 usage

I have been using 4.0 on CentOS 7 for about 5 months at my home office. I have 7 hosts being backed-up. About 4 TB pooled / 42 TB prior to pooling and compression. Combination of Linux and Windows hosts.

No issues at this point.
