Hi, I'm new to BackupPC and I have a few questions about it :
1) I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 x86 and I installed BackupPC via apt-get. I didn't had the perl configure.pl sequence, so I couldn't configure the path where the datas are backed up. I searched through the /etc/backuppc, /usr/share/backuppc and /var/lib/backuppc folders, but I couldn't find a way to reconfigure this path, nor the configure.pl (searched through the entire disk). On Ubuntu, the default save path is /var/lib/backuppc and I want to change it to something like /mnt/backup as I want to backup my files to an external drive (I know I could mount my drive to /var/lib/backuppc, but I don't like that) 2) Restoration through CGI-bin/tar works, but I've seen there's a backuppc_zcat program. But i've also seen a warning in the doc about it's not checking whether the file is compressed or not (mines aren't as far as I know). Is there a script, command or option that could allow me to restore a whole folder through CLI ? (getting rid of this "f" prefix and eventually uncompressing the files if necessary) 3) If my server running backupPC crashes and I reinstall it, will it recognize my old backup folder and allow me to restore /etc through the cgi-bin interface? 4) As I said, I'm using an external drive for my backup, but it's encrypted. Is there a way to tell BackupPC to open and mount my external drive before the backup and unmount it afterwards? (executing a script before and after would be sufficient) Thanx a lot B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
