Re: [BackupPC-users] Vista client unauthorized user
OK I fixed the problem. the backuppc web interface did not set RsyncdUserName - backuppc in the client.pl file because backuppc is the default value. -Oz Cody Dunne wrote: Oz Dror wrote: Thanks for responding.

Rsyncd should be running as the SYSTEM user, so you won't need a backuppc user on the Vista machine unless you want to be able to ssh into it or the like.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Different TopDir for different clients.
Thanks for responding: Regarding the first issue. I have a limited backup space in my server. On the other had I have disk space in some clients that is wasted. Thus I was hopping to backup one client to another client's disk, rather than to my main storage. Regarding the second issues. The client is a windows client. My understanding is that when you use rsyncd in windows. you can either exclude dirs or include dirs. not both. I only need to backup a couple of user accounts in that client. I was hoping to do it with two backup schedules, because of the limitation above. These accounts have different file exclusions. -Oz Martin Leben wrote: Hi Oz, Read on... Oz Dror wrote: I am sure that it was asked before, but I was not able to find satisfying answer on the net. 1. How can I have different TopDir assigned to different client computers. No, you can't. Tell us more about what problem you are trying to solve instead. 2. How can I have different backup schedules for the same PC client. Create an extra host in backuppc that points to the same client machine. But why would you want to do that? Just as with the question above, tell us more about the actual problem you are trying to solve. I am not really an expert on Backuppc, so if I misunderstood anything please correct me. And don't hesitate to follow up if Oz has more questions if he follows up on this subject and I am not jumping the gun.
