Hi Dan,

for security, how to encrypt the backup on the server, i use the rsyncd to 
backup,because its verry simple to install, and it used only in the network, 
but i found the rsyncdsharpasswd in the config fil, 
Rsyncd cant encrypt the data, but only authentification with MD4 128 bit (only 
chanlenge-response).

Now im installing Nagios for monitoring backuppc, i havve find the plugin for 
backuppc.

Thank you

Nadia

Regards

I completely understand that you will have to answer many questions for 
non-technical management.  Quotas are rarely used in any kind of backup program 
and backuppc is no exception.

What security questions do you anticipate?  You can encrypt the disk that 
backuppc uses if you like but that would hurt your performance quite a bit.  
The standard web interface is simple enough that it does not leave a lot of 
room for unathorized access.  The only real threat is having an 'admin' level 
user's password given out OR physical access to the system.

??why would you do that??  you will certainly have many failed backups if you 
do this.  Also, the quota would have no useful function except to break backups.


You might be ok if you just
 setup SOFT quotas and put the hard limits extremely high.  Then the backuppc 
server would send an email each time someone backed up data over their quota 
but once they hit that point they would get a notification every single time 
until an old full backup expired that had some large files that have been 
deleted.



You would be much better off putting a quota on the remote computer for the 
user in question.  You can do this in windowsXP+ easily.

managing quotas in linux is well beyond the scope of this mailing list and 
google can help you out but I think that this is not a functional solution on 
backuppc.  backuppc should just do backups, not tell people how much they can 
backup.
