Hello Ken Walker, Basicaly it is where you install the configuration file... for example mine is /backuppc .. /conf stores configuration.. /pc stores pc backed up files etc.
Mount you're md to you're /var/lib/backuppc would be simplest solution. What backup method are you using? tar.. rsync? Yes it can back up individual directories. I do it on windows and linux machines Best regards, ======= At 2006-02-17, 06:58:06 you wrote: ======= >I've just been searching for backup methods and came across backuppc, which >was described as easy to set up. > >well I've install it on Debian, and its up and running, i've added a remote >machine to the hosts file, and it's just done a local machine backup. > >But > >I'm getting access denied errors on the local machine backup > >I can't find where to change the backup location, i want it on a raid5 drive >and not on my operating system drive. >It says it's putting them in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/0 but i want >them on an md drive. > >On the remote machine, can i just select specific folders to back up or is >it all or nothing. > >Is there a 'simple get up and running' document anywhere ? > >many thanks > >Ken > > > >------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
