[SOLVED] Hello,
I recognized that the backup of the windows xp client was successfull after I made a reboot. So I guess the missing step when adding a client to backuppc that is connected via (Open)VPN to restart the backuppc-server and reload the configuration. So for the archives: How to backup a windows xp client that is connected via OpenVPN to your backuppc server: 1) make sure you're VPN is working by pinging the windowsclient from your backuppc-server 2) add ip of windows-client to /etc/hosts on backuppc server 3) make sure you can ping the windows-client by using its hostname 4) create a client-config.pl for the new client, make sure rsync, ssh or tar (whatever you choose is working) 5) IMPORTANT: reload the configuration by restarting the backuppc-server: sudo /etc/init.d/backuppc restart - Kurt Adam Goryachev wrote: > To see what backuppc is doing, and why it doesn't work, login to your > backuppc server as the user backuppc. > Run "/usr/share/backuppc/bin/Backuppc_dump -v laptopclient" and send > the output to the list if you can't work out what is wrong. > Kurt Tunkko wrote: >> I have maybe the same problem when trying to backup a windows xp laptop >> that is connected via VPN to the backuppc-server. >>[...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
