I've been using 3.0.0 for a week or so and it seems to work fine. That being said, there are 2 caveats I think should be mentioned. First, the default location for config files has changed. The main config file is in /etc/BackupPC and the individual host configs are in /etc/BackupPC. I assumed that the new version would migrate from the old without incident. Obviously I should have read the docs more closely! Second, which relates somewhat to the item above, is that the default full backup count is 1 (one). If, as happened to me, the install is done and doesn't find the old config files, some old backups may be deleted. Craig: might it not be a good idea to set the default backup count to a big number to avoid this problem?
