It's taken me couple of days to get around to reading this. I've done something similar to this for many years (and at one point posted a HOWTO on the wiki). My suggestion is that you not use 'backuppc' as the username on the client. That's a username defined elsewhere (i.e. in the BackupPC server package), so there would be a collision if you installed the BackupPC server package on a machine which had been set up as a client. Yes, it's a corner case, but it's far easier to deal with corner cases before they become a problem. :) I generically use 'rsyncbakup' for the username. The misspelling should reduce the likelihood of a name collision. I've also used <companyname>backup where it seemed appropriate to emphasize the name of the company doing the backup. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
