Re: [BackupPC-users] User Commands

[Erik M. <e.s...@wi...>]

I found the problem. All my host config files were based upon a template
I created a while ago. That template used double-quotes on the user
command lines in the config file and thus were subject to Perl variable
replacement. The BackupPC variables where being turned in to empty
strings before BackupPC used the content of the strings.
