Hi all, I just noticed that one of our BPC-servers started a full backup at about 0900 hrs despite its blackout period was set as follows: hourBegin 8 hourEnd 18 weekDays 1,2,3,4,5 Am I misunderstand

Two possibilities come to mind: 1) You didn't specify whether you were looking at the main server config or the host config. Blackout periods can be set on a per-host basis, so a host config can over

<clipped> cgid provides the exact same functionality as cgi. So you can either just use cgid, or switch your MPM. Switch your mpm: sudo a2dismod mpm_event sudo a2enmod mpm_prefork sudo service apache

AFAIK answer is "no and no". Reasonably sure about first one. Second one could be possible via crypted filesystem, if that is ok with You. Il 02/09/2015 15:35, Jan Novak ha scritto: -- Monitor Your D

No, all of the backups go in a single directory structure due to the use of hardlinks to reduce disk usage. Each host will have it's own directory under the main data directory. I believe the only wa

In order to encrypt the files, you would have to modify backuppc so that it can read the encrypted files for comparison purposes. This should be possible as it has already been done for compression,

You could use that to encrypt an archive copy of a host, but it wouldn't work for encrypting the whole backup directory, which is what I believe he is looking for. Bowie On 9/2/2015 3:50 PM, Brad Ale
