My experience has been that the Debian and Ubuntu BackupPC packages 'just work' right after install, with little futzing necessary. I have taught SuSE administration classes, and I far prefer Debian-based systems. I heartily encourage you to try installing Debian or Ubuntu on some spare hardware and experiment with it. To test your backup process, you can try running the backup 'by hand' with a command like the following: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v <hostname.domain.tld> The path to the BackupPC_dump tool may be different on your system, but that's the general invocation. Note that: * you must be running as the backuppc user when executing this command * the name of the host (<hostname.domain.tld>) needs to be the same as in the /etc/backuppc/hosts file. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
