I have set up a machine to run BackupPC, backing up four other hosts. I
would like to configure Backup PC to write the tar.gz archive directly
to tape on another machine. The way I do it now is to first dump the
archive to the disk on which the BackupPC service is running, and then
if use a shell script to write the archives to the remote tape
(tar -c [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/tape host.nnn.tar.gz)
This way, the tape contains a tar.gz file (actually tar-ing twice) and I
need a lot of free disk space on the machine on which I run BackupPC
I would like BackupPC to tar directly to the remote tape.
I'm not sure how I should do this. I've tried to set
$Conf{ArchiveDest} ='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev/tape';
but then I get an mkdir error. It seems that the ArchiveDest can not be
specifed in the <user>@<host>:<remotedir> way.
Any suggestions on how I can solve this?
