Hello, I've tried to install BackupPC v4 following your documentation at
https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html on a Debian 11 machine. Starting with "Step 1" https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#Step-1:-Getting-BackupPC everything works fine, both packages "backuppc" and "rsync-bpc" get installed smoothly (as far as I can tell). So according to the recommendation, I skip to Step 3 ... which gets me lost in transition, because: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#Step-3:-Setting-up-config.pl states "After running configure.pl, browse through the config file, __CONFDIR__/config.pl [...]" Well, which "configure.pl" to ran (and when)? What is "__CONFDIR__"? The same as with v3, so "/etc/backuppc"? I recognized that this folder is created freshly during installation (be aware of the file's timestamps), but contains NO "config.pl" file: $ ls -al /etc/backuppc total 20 drwxr-xr-x 2 backuppc www-data 4096 Feb 23 11:42 . drwxr-xr-x 130 root root 12288 Feb 23 11:57 .. -rw-r----- 1 backuppc www-data 47 Feb 23 11:42 htpasswd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 23 11:42 pc -> /etc/backuppc So my attempt stops at this point unfinished. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Christian PS: A little bit of background info: I'm using BackupPC v3 for many years now. Prior to my attempt to install v4, I've uninstalled v3 and moved away the "old" folder /etc/backuppc by renaming it. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
