Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrade to 3.0.0 beta

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 02:59:18 -0800

Hey guys,

My experience....

version 3.0.0beta1 to me seems as solid as you get. my setup really doesn't change so i am happy with it.

The big thing with version 3 is the ability to edit configuration and hosts files per pc and globally via the cgi interface. This is HUGE as it means full administration can be done via the web interface.

i have upgraded a couple of 2.1.2 systems with only minor hiccups. namely missing the par2 binary which is required for the config editor (note it didn't affect the upgrade, but it didn't allow me to edit config files etc in the cgi). par2, if you dont have it in your OS, comes from parchive.sourceforge.net.

The upgrade will keep all current data and configuration as they are in 2.1.2, so its painless.

I'd fully recommend doing it.

Regards,

Les

Hi,

At the current moment we are running BackupPC 2.1.2 and we are very
pleased with it.

Pool is 161.69GB comprising 633721 files and 4369 directories
144 full backups of total size 3499.96GB (prior to pooling and compression),
262 incr backups of total size 200.43GB (prior to pooling and compression).

which means we have full backups of 3 months ago.

Now I was wondering how stable is the 3.0.0 and is it worth upgrading
already?  I have full confidence in the programming skills of Craig
Barratt and his "accomplices" in aid.  I know that each version they
bring even in beta stage, are full worthy versions.  Mostly I never had
a problem with them.  But I was just wondering if it was worth it to do
the switch already, what are pros and cons so far.

Regards

Klaas
