No need to do a completely fresh install. There should be a file, /etc/BackupPC/config.pl.rpmnew, this is the file that would have been installed had it been a fresh install. You can compare it with your current config but it's likely that there's too many differences for that to be effective with

Alright guys, I went ahead and created a COPR for BackupPC... https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/ You just have to go in and download the repository file and copy to /etc/yum.repos.d/ It uses the same name so a simple "yum update" should pick it up... It SHOULD save

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC v4 for Fedora / EPEL Update

I wanted to give a quick update on the status of BackupPC v4 for Fedora and EPEL 6 & 7. Currently I'm fighting a configuration problem with Apache and the C wrapper which allows BackupPC_Admin to run as suid. I think I have a solution but I haven't had time to test it. Even after I get a working

Re: [BackupPC-users] systemd init for version 4?

Craig, I noticed you set ExecStop to use SIGHUP to stop BackupPC but it looks like the sysv script uses SIGTERM... What is the correct way to tell BackupPC to stop? There is the options KillMode and KillSignal to tell systemd how to stop the process. Thanks, Richard

Just a shameless plug here... I was upgrading my old Fedora 14 MythTV box to CentOS 6.3 which didn't go so well on the MythTV front, but that's another story. Well when that didn't work I decided to go with Fedora 17. In both cases I have a /var lvm partition but since all my pictures, movies,
