I have installed Backuppc on Ubuntu 5.10 using
#apt-get install backuppc
(much easier than setting it up on K12LTSP. I found it really tricky
setting up apache, cgi-perl etc. Too much to learn at once.)
Anyway... installed it fine.
Next working out how to install Rsync on Windows:
I installed
I have set up rsync as a service on my windows computer. I can access it
using
#rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::testdir .
I have set up the host file and set up rsyncd as the method.
I have done #nmlookup mycomputer
and it gives the ip address of my computer.
But...
When I log in to Backuppc it
I tried starting the program using run command as another user
/usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC
as backuppc
I then entered the password given to me at installation time (the one
which gets me into the webpage)
It says Wrong password

It mentions in the documentation that outlook is inefficient as far as
backuppc is concerned because everything is saved in one file so the whole
file has to be backed up everytime. There is also the file locking problem.
How does Thunderbird compare? Does it also save all its files in one file

tar be just as good or better. I have heard that tar is faster than
rsync and because there is no network traffic involved it might be
better to minimize cpu overhead and use tar.

Can someone step me through what is required to backup to DVD.
From what I understand from the documentation you set up a backup
called archive that creates images the size specified. Then it is
required to manually burn the images to DVD.
How many megabytes should I may my archives so they fit on
It is hard to find files in the backups by browsing. If there were a
search feature that allowed you to search one or more computers
backups that would be great.
