hi, this is great news to see v4 in the radar, we love this wonderfull piece of software and seing a new version is exciting :) I saw : Any backup can be deleted (deltas are merged into next older backup if it is not filled). in the changelogs.

Re: [BackupPC-users] security web server questions
The method I use is that I use rsync+ssh. I then create a regular backuppc user and limit sudo access to the tools needed to perform the backup, plus anything needed to be done as root in the pre/post backup scripts, such as my dbdump script. Here is my /etc/sudoers.d/backuppc: # This file is managed by puppet. Do not edit locally. Cmnd_AliasBACKUP=/bin/tar, /usr/bin/rsync, /usr/bin/mysqldump, /usr/local/sbin/dbdump backuppcALL=NOPASSWD:BACKUP This allows me access to all the files to be backed up/restored, and limits the backuppc user to the specific tools needed to perform the task. An attacker could get in and cause mischief, but that risk is far overshadowed by missing backups in a DR type scenario. --b On Sat, Jul 6, 2013 at 7:38 PM, Igor Sverkos igor.sver...@googlemail.comwrote: Hi, I can understand the question. If BackupPC will use root permission, your BackupPC will become No. 1 target. Because when the attacker controls your BackupPC, she can access every box within your network as root. Nothing you really want. And in business, you will have multiple sys-admins.. but as the VPN/Firewall admin you want your servers to be backed up, but you shouldn't trust your colleague which is running the backup server too much. Because it is your ass which will get kicked when someone compromises the systems under your responsibility. Two ways we are using: 1) If you really know what folder you want to be backed up, create a user backup and add an ACL which allows the user backup to read these folders. 2) If you don't know what folders you want to be backed up or you want to backup everything, also create a user backup and lock it down. Now, create a copy of rsync. Make sure, only the user backup can execute this file. Set the CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH capability for the private rsync copy. Now, the user backup can access all your data like root can, but if anybody will get access to that user on that box, he/she is very limited. -- Regards.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 4.0.0alpha1 released
Jean, I should have been clearer in my explanation. This isn't a user feature in 4.0.0 that allows users to delete any backup. What I was trying to say was that 4.0.0 includes the ability to delete any backup, while maintaining the consistency of the reverse deltas. That simplifies the deletion logic. In contrast, 3.x doesn't allow a backup to be deleted that others depend on for the deltas. It's not a user-level feature though.
