Re: [BackupPC-users] how to configure backup NT4 machine shares?

Mon, 17 Jul 2006 12:29:22 -0700

thanks that help me a litle. i was able to make a test full backup!.
but i was using the default config.pl, and I don't wanna that so I spent some time to find the _TOPDIR_/ they talked about in docs..
then i found and created a config.pl there in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/filipe/config.pl

ok.
but now a more serious problem!!
I'm from portugal and we have characters with accents á ó ã à ç, etc... and i tested a file with one character like that and backuppc didnt copy that file!!
I created a directory and it copied it but the original name is gestão and it copied gestão

will I be able to copy these files with the correct names or no? otherwise backuppc couldn't help me on daily backups :(

other thing is about the backout config...
The target pc's are always ON and i will want to backup when there is noone working to not cause any problems of "overloaded network" so it could run everyday at 2.00 am, so can i just delete that lines about the blackout?

thanks a lot!

so can u give-me your config files to help me configure in my network?
so u configured samba basic, and then, in the nt4 servers, u make auth? how?
thanks

what is did is just

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb';
$Conf{SmbShareName} = ['YOUR SERVERS SHARE NAME'];
$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'USER WITH RIGHTS TO READ ALL FILES';
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'THE PASSWORD';

The user must have rights to read all the files you want to back up.
You will need to make sure this is the case (by using a combination of
the GUI and the cacls.exe command line tool), since by default the
home directories are not readable even by administrator, and in my
experience the backup operators group is useless.

In my config my user name is just the user name. I don't know when you
need to include the domain and when you don't need to, but in my case
I don't need it.

This, plus setting $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}, is basically my config for
all my NT4/W2K/XP machines.
