yes, I was not trying to discourage its usage. My point was simply, "don't
expect that to solve your current issue". Aside from that, config.pl has
excellent comments that explain a lot of how BackupPC works (as well as,
obviously, how to use the settings). So editing the file with an editor is
in no way inferior to using the web configuration interface. It mainly depends
on what feels more intuitive to you. Some prefer the web interface, some prefer
editing the file. The two possibilities exist so that you can use both of
them. Both have their advantages and limitations.

But thank you for pointing this out. I see that my remark can be understood
that way.
