[BackupPC-users] Remote backup with VSS

[Antonio S. <a.s...@gm...>]

Hi everybody,

I'm pretty new to BackupPC and I think it is a great software.
Anyway, I'm trying to use BackupPC on a VPS of mine to have remotely
backup pc. I backupped a couple of windows pc, better to say data
directory of couple pc, succesfully with cygwin + rsyncd from backuppc
sourceforge.

Now, I would like to try the same thing but with opened files so the
Michael Stowe solution seems the best chance using scripts to run
Windows shadow copy. Reading Michael's documentation here
http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62 after completed backup there are
the points to close the entire process, I mean

1. postusercmd.sh
2. sleep.vbs etc..
3. unmaps drive etc..

Finally my question. Remote Internet backup is, of course, pretty slow
compared to LAN one, so what's happen if workstation to backup loose
its internet line, or if a customer get off pc ? Of course, remote
backup is not completed but BackupPC will be able to recover it ?
Shadows copy will still be there ?

Thank you.
Antonio
