[BackupPC-users] Webinterface on different host
hey, i'm running backuppc for around 7 servers, this is all working perfectly but the webinterface is verry slow, it sometimes takes up to 5 minuts to open up the webinterface. So now i was thinking, maybe it would be good to host the webinterface on a different host inside the network, this has a couple off extra advantages - first off all a apache server less to maintain - second the webinterface could be much faster - third, the backuppc server has all the memory and cpu to use for backing up only. So now my question, is this possible or do you guys have another idea on how we can solve our problem? -- Greets, Maikel - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_serverport_. I don't know if it'll be much faster though. What is the typical load on your BackupPC server? Large pool? How many hosts are you backing up? I've found that the web interface is not such a heavyweight, but all the dumping, compressing, pooling, linking, etc. can be a heavy load for a system.

See http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_serverport_. I don't know if it'll be much faster though. What is the typical load on your BackupPC server? Well almost 24/24 its between 4 and 8 Large pool? How many hosts are you backing up? 5 hosts, one with around 400 GB data the others are just for config backupps, so thats not worth the space We want to add 3 other hosts but we just' can't a backup (400G) now typicly takes around 40 hours.

Yes, it is possible. See
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_serverport_.
I don't know if it'll be much faster though. What is the typical load
on
your BackupPC server?
Ok this server port setting is ok, backuppc is now listening on the server.
But how do i get the client to connect to that place?
i have set $Conf{ServerHost} to the correct server, and i added that secret message.
But what else is needed? does the client need the same config files, these for the hosts, the hosts file itself?

Is this server only doing backups? What transfer method are you using?
