Thanks, Richard and list!
Does the EPEL and COPR installer for backuppc recognize that
backuppc has already been installed and overwrite it? I don't mind
overwriting. I just want to know if the installer covers existing
installs. I've already installed the modified rsync, all the Perl
dependencies, etc. I've run the Perl install script as well,
following along with
Yes, it will work like any other upgrade / package update, it's not a
parallel installable package.
Got it. GOTHAM'S RECOMMENDATIONS HAD ME MAKE A NEW USER "BACKUPPC" AND
RUN APACHE IN IT, AND DO A LOT OF STUFF FROM WITHIN ROOT. Should I
delete the new user, change the Apache user back to default, and as much
as possible undo all of the steps he gave? Any harm in leaving the Perl
modules intact and the modified Rsync in the bin folder? I wouldn't know
how to uninstall a Perl module anyway off the top of my head.
Ordinarily I would wipe this Redhat machine and start from scratch but I
spent a whole day installing an old driver for my now-obsolete RAID
card. It's not that old a card, it was working fine in Windows..... EOL
for hardware comes much too soon :-(. and I'm working on a script to
send mail when the RAID controller has problems. And in that case if I
start from scratch I guess I would switch to Debian. :-)
Yes, probably best to wipe anything you've done manually. The readme
in the package has basic instructions on what you'll need to do after
package install.
I'm not sure if you mentioned what version you are running but the
package should install a SysV init script on EL 6 and the Systemd
service file on EL 7.
I'm not running EL yet at all, not fully understanding your syntax
above :-)
