I have searched the archive, but had no success. I am unable to run
BackupPC_dump from the command line, and have to do so to figure out why
it is not backing up my Windows XP desktop. Here is what has been tried.
A "su backuppc" does not work - the system prompts for a password and
the Apache password set up on installation does not work.
A "su -c./BackupPC_dump" fails with:
Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead of 107 (backuppc)
BackupPC::Lib->new failed
Changing to root - through "su", then issuing this command:
./BackupPC_dump -v -f topaz
does not work and returns this error:
Wrong user: my userid is 0, instead of 107 (backuppc)
BackupPC::Lib->new failed
The entry for backuppc in /etc/password is:
backuppc:x:107:114:BackupPC,,,:/var/lib/backuppc:/bin/sh
Can I add a password for user backuppc? If I do, what happens to
"/etc/init.d/backuppc" which I presently have to "sudo" to execute.
I am not a Linux expert and after two days of this I am feeling pretty
frustrated. The Linux box is Ubuntu Edgy Eft, Server version.
