Backup Central

Now that there's a debian package for backuppc 2.1.0 (thanks!), I've
re-installed our backup server to debian and backuppc-2.1.0

the save-partial-backups feature was one of the improvements I was looking
forward to; but from the one test I've done, I see that it looks like
deliberately canceling a backup, causes the files downloaded so far to be
deleted, rather than saved as I expected.

is this deliberate for some reason, or an oversight, or something that just
hasn't been dealt with yet?

Any failed full backup (not incremental) that has already saved some
files should be kept as a partial. A failed incremental does not get
saved. Are you canceling an incremental or a full? Are you sure some
files are already present (check the new directory) - with rsync some
time might elapse before the first file is transferred.

ah, that would be it. it was almost certainly an incremental backup.
there were definitely some files transferred tho; 2.8GB of them under the
new/ directory for that machine.
