I installed Backuppc & it works well... I did spend some days figuring things out though and I am far from mastering it.I am backing-up two WinXP shares from two PCs on my home network (wife and girl) on my Ubuntu box using SMBAs I progress in my understanding of the program, I realize that I have not enabled the compression. Backuppc has a (script?) command line BackupPC_compPool that is supposed to be run, as user backuppc to fix this properly.Thus my questions:- how to run this command line (found under /usr/share/backuppc/bin/ BackupPC_compPool?and- would you know how to switch to user backuppc for just this one operation (I have no user Backuppc in the list of user going to Ubuntu administration)?Sorry I am quite new to this and thanks for any help
Don't try to run BackupPC_compPool yourself. Just set $Conf {ArchiveComp} and $Conf{CompressLevel} to the desired values and your files will be compressed by BackupPC.
