I've got a couple more questions about setting up BackupPC. So I will want to backup each filesystem on a client individually, to its own volume. To authorize the BackupPC server to connect to the client and take a backup, I would like to use the authorized_keys features of limiting the commands to run based on public key so as to reduce exposure to clients if the host is compromised. I am using rdiff-backup now, and it works fairly well with that.
But the command to run will vary based on the filesystem, which rather nixes that, I think. I'd have to give the server access to run whatever command it wants on the client, as root. Is there a way to push the data from the client, or some alternative way to restrict access even if backing up multiple filesystems separately? Second question... My clients will not be up 24/7, or necessarily at predictable hours. I'd like to use anacron on them so I can fire off backups at intervals when they're up. Is this possible? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
