Hi Chris, It sounds like BackupPC does more than you need, but it is still the best solution I can recommend. I'm an Ubuntu admin, so ...

"/user/bin/nmblookup" should be in "/usr/bin/", not "/user/bin". If that's just a mistake in your copy/paste, my next guess is missing dependency. BackupPC should have a correct list of required packages, but some are marked as optional. There is no harm in installing them manually, and then forcing apt to install anything else it is missing in order to complete the BackupPC install. apt-get install smbclient libfile-rsyncp-perl rrdtool par2 apt-get -f install Which ubuntu server release are you running? If hardy, you may want to use my updated packages: http://www.tolaris.com/apt-repository/ Regards, Tyler -- "What a long, strange trip it's been." -- Robert Hunter, "Truckin'" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
