Hello,
is there a way to backup Mac OS9 Clients? I could not find anything
about it...
Thx for any hints and pointers (even weird workarounds are welcome as
long as I do not have to modify OS9 too much - its customers machines I
will NOT support in "that" state...)
The only and simply way that I use, it's
- run BackupPC under Mac OS X because there is a natif afp client
- mounting the client shared volume from MAcOS 9 under the server
- create a config.pl for client like
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = 'mac';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$tarPath -c -v -f - -C
/Volumes/$shareName --totals';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$tarPath -x -v -f - -C
/Volumes/$shareName --totals';
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/mountafp $host $share';
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = '/sbin/umount /Volumes/$share';
$Conf{RestorePreUserCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/mountafp $host $share';
$Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} = '/sbin/umount /Volumes/$share';
the mountafp script is :
#!/bin/sh
# arguments $1=$host, $2 = $share
#
mkdir /Volumes/$2
/sbin/mount -t afp afp://backuppc:passwd:@$1/Documents/ /Volumes/$2
regards
jmb
