Hi all. I'm in the process of bulding a large scale backup system in my institute based on backuppc. So far, things are going according to plan.
We built up a backupPC server and a mechanism for seamlessly "install" the client on the machines to backup with to objectives in mind : - doing as secure as possible backups - making the client as easy to deploy as possible So we came out with a nice solution where the client package use a ssh service key to connect to the backuppc server which generates an ssh keypair, sends the public part to the client and registers the client in the configuration files. You can have a look if you are interrested : https://tucuxi.univ-brest.fr/projects/iuem-backuppc-client The deployment is very quick and easy on linux and MaxOS machines but now, I have to deal with the windows machines, and this is totally different. I managed to deploy a client but the process is fastidious and there is no way for my users to do this by themselves. I deployed the windows client according to the different docs on the backupPC Wiki (VShadow, rsync+ssh, cygwin). Question : Did someone already worked on an automated deployment on windows ? Has someone experience with one of those packaging system : * wix * nsis * izpack * inosetup Or would a perl script be more appropriate ? I would appreciate any pertinent input on the matter. Thanks Jonathan
