Hi, I'm using flexbackup on my OpenBSD box. I wanted flexbackup to support being able to mount remote filesystems via. NFS, do the backup, and then unmount them again. Handling any failure conditions appropriately, of course :)
Since neither OpenBSD was correctly supported (find does not support -regex on OpenBSD), and mounting via. NFS was supported, I added both :) The patch for this support is available at: http://www.goth.net/~prez/flexbackup-1.2.1-nfs_openbsd.patch.gz Note, this enables support for using NFS within the sets, nowhere else in the file. Basically instead of using rsh/ssh, it will use nfs. There are a few new options added to the config file, they are: $remotestyle - values are 'shell' or 'nfs' (using 'shell' will have all remote entries listed in sets use ssh/rsh, 'nfs' will try to mount them, defaults to 'nfs'). $nfs_mount - The command to use to mount your NFS partition (defaults to just 'mount', but you can use this to add arguments to this command). $nfs_umount - The command to unmount the mounted NFS partition (defaults to 'umount'). $nfs_mountpoint - Where we want to mount the NFS partition to (defaults to '/mnt'). Also, for OpenBSD support, you will be required to have egrep and tr on your system (they're standard utilities, so they should exist). Hope you find it useful :) PreZ :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
