Re: [BackupPC-users] Error starting a backup

Ok, never mind. I think I solved my own problem. The /data directory had root ownship. I thought this was OK since /data/BackupPC was owned by apache user. However, clearly, that was not good enough. I changed the ownership of: chown apache.apache -R /data and everything worked Well, at least

[BackupPC-users] Renaming a host

Hi all, We use Backuppc as our backup solution for our servers. Now we are in the midst of a server move / rename / function change of many servers. How can I just rename the host in Backuppc without losing my backups? Renaming it in the hosts file and renaming it's directory doesn't work. Any

Re: [BackupPC-users] ssh keys and security

Assuming you're using rsync as the transport: This is the default setting in config.pl $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+'; That needs to be changed to $Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l username_with_sudo_rights $host sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';

Which of the config directive needs to change for the "sudo" part and how would it look? Could you give an example? Thanks, Yaakov. On 7/18/07, Rob Owens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If you're going to connect to the host as root, then no changes to > config.pl are needed. If you're going to con

Re: [BackupPC-users] Error starting a backup

You want /data/BackupPC to be owned by user "backuppc". You shouldn't be allowing user "apache" to do anything besides run the webserver. User "apache" should not be allowed to log in as root. User "backuppc" should be allowed to log into the host machines as root (assuming you're using rsyn
