Hi,
I am trying to figure what settings to change and to what in order to
trigger a full backup every night at 3am and keep 7 days worth of
backups before deleting them...
I'd rather stick with the web-based GUI-provided settings. So, what
settings do I change (from default ones) on the Schedule
hich can't be
right since windows doesn't have an ssh server...
Anyway, any ideas as to how to do all this?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

What's the address for that again? :-)
Just kidding. Yes, I should've googled it, you're right.

Yes, the numbered backup is completely deleted. Backup #0 under the
directory '0' is now the backup of the new configuration. I know the
old backup was definitely there before. I know this because I browsed
it through the Web interface. Then, I changed the configuration,

Hi,
If I set up BackupPC to use samba to do backup on a windows client,
will it copy the ENTIRE share every single time?

Hi,
I was playing with a different configuration of one of my machines. I
did one back up one way and then changed the configuration of what I
want to back up. The client machine is a Windows box and luckily I was
just playing because of the following...
When I changed which "shares" I wanted to

Really? Cool!
So, the user listed in the 'hosts' files has nothing to do with the
user set up on the yaakovlt machine, but has to do with the user setup
in BackupPC?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Yes, I did restart the Apache server. In fact, I even restarted the
machine. Still the same thing.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe someone can point out to me what I am doing wrong
I have one host working just fine for already a couple of months...
So, now I wanted to add another machine to be backed up. So, I edited
the hosts file and added another almost identical line to it. Now, it
looks like this:

Hi,
This is a very basic question... After reading the docs, I am unclear

Since the backups are stored in a pool which stores JUST the
difference between the older and newer files, than what is the
difference then?

Ok, I put the full path in. Now, it tells me this:

Hi,
(Sigh... So many problems with this backup...)
I was trying to configure a backup of the localhost. For a test, I
took 2 test directories with 2 2 liner text files as the thing to
backup.
I configured 'sudo' and setup for this host is:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = 'sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'
Whe
do is make the CGI script
below to the group that the Apache server belongs to. I did that and
it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Ok, after all that, it still gives me the same error message as in the
first post.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,

Question is whether it's anymore secure or if the way BackupPC works,
it won't matter in the end.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Hi,
Now that I got my BackupPC working, I broke it again trying to secure
it further.
Previously, I was told here that I should not be running Apache web
server as the same user as running BackupPC.
So, I kept Apache running as 'apache' user and switched BackupPC (in
config.pl) to be "backuppc"

it started backing stuff up. It started backing up '/'
even though I specified in BackupFilesOnly '/opt'. Strange... I guess,
I have to go back and read the docs again If anyone knows of a
quick fix for this, let me know.
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Hi,
I am running BackupPC 3.0 and having trouble getting it to back up. So
far, I am just running a test back up on the machine that hosts the
BackupPC.
Here is the error log that I am getting when I click "Start Full Backup":

Would this require a different configuration within the config.pl
file(s) within BackupPC itself? Or as far as BackupPC is concerned the
configuration can stay the same as if it has exchanged the rsa keys
with the user 'root'?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Hi,
I am running Fedora Core 7 and installed BackupPC as part of the
distribution. I never really did anything with it since the
configuration was confusing me a lot. But then someone suggested that
I upgrade to BackupPC 3.0 as that version (apparently) allows you to

Hi,
I have a LAN where every machine has a static IP address. Furthermore,
each machine has a custom 'hosts' file which gives those IP addresses
a host name.
I don't necessarily want to back up the entire drive on each machine,
but only certain directories.
