All, I really need some urgent help to get backuppc back up and working under Mandriva 2007.
Last week my root disc died (this had /var /usr /var/www) and so I bought a new hard disc and installed Mandtiva 2007. I noticed that backuppc was available on the Mandriva package source and so went ahead and installed it from there. Previously I had gone ahead and installed manually. All my previous backups are located on /backups. Last backup is now almost 3 months old. The first thing I noticed with Mandriva is that it automatically sets the backup path to be /var/lib/backuppc. I found that the TopDir is set in /usr/share/backuppc/lib/backuppc/Lib.pm, so I changed that to /backups. The other thing that is different is that the main config file is in /etc/backuppc. So, I updated the hosts file and checked the main config.pl file under /etc/backuppc. However, when I start the backuppc daemon and goto the web interface it states that there are no hosts and ZERO previous backups :( I need to restore some stuff from my previous backups and I'm really hoping that someone can really help me out to figure out what is wrong here. I'm a little lost because the setup from the Mandriva install is different that previously. Before, all my config directories were under /backups. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Really need to restore some stuff in the next 24 hours. TIA. ________________________________________ Dave Williams ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
