You might make a list of clients with a directory list in /etc/backuppc (on the backuppc server).
Finding out if a backup is made is already done by backuppc itself, so you should not need to worry about that. - Joris -----Original Message----- From: Scott [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Mon 5/7/2012 21:25 To: General list for user discussion,questions and support Subject: [BackupPC-users] backuppc tracking and finding new machines forbackup? Wondering if anyone has come up with a solution to verify that all network machines are actually in the backuppc host list? My approach so far has been to manually add machines to backuppc as I sit in front of them. I have also on occasion looked at the dhcp server and added machines from that list manually. I am hoping I can come up with a script to take a list of machines and check if they are already in backuppc for backup. I could check that list every so often and add new machines that make sense. The list of machines out there could come from a network scan (spiceworks?). Then I would need to get a list from backuppc of the machines currently set for backup. Is there a file that contains the list of all the machines?
