[BackupPC-users] Server reboots nightly
Almost every morning, I come into the server room and find that my BackupPC server has been rebooted. I log it in and leave it logged in every day. When I get back in the morning, the login screen is there. Does anyone have any explanations as to why? We are running on Fedora Core 9. We are not running the latest kernel because when I last tried a kernel upgrade, our external hard drive no longer worked after the upgrade.

Joe TSolucio Jeremy H. Griffith escribió: Hi all! I have a small LAN in Hillsboro, OR, which is connected to the Net though a (NAT) router provided by Verizon. The IP on the Net side is variable. My backup server is in Los Angeles, and has its own static IP. It's a dedicated server, using FreeBSD, and I had no problem with backuppc setup on it. How can I tell backuppc to access systems on my LAN? I'd like to back up two hosts on it, one Vista Home (my wife's), the other Win2K Pro. I'll probably add a Linux one for development soon too. I suspect I need to set up a VPN; if so, what VPN software do you recommend? Or can the LAN systems log in to backuppc over the Net to start the process? Or is this beyond backuppc's area? In that case, what other software might do the job? I'm a C++ programmer, but my perl skills are, ahem, rudimentary. Thanks! -- Jeremy H.

check any log files you find in /var/log too! messages is a good one to start with, but depending on the exact configuration, you might find other log files there too.
