Hi Paul, I run BackupPC on my workstation and use it to backup 2 machines (the workstation and a server) to an external hard drive (attached to the workstation). As I understand it, BackupPC has two main sets of scripts - the user interface and the backup scripts. I access the UI via virtual host backuppc.osagesoftware.com. Apache defines the virtual host through file /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/10_BackupPC.conf. This puts the UI at http://backuppc.osagesoftware.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin. Most of the UI scripts are in directory /usr/share/webapps/backuppc/3.0.0_beta3/hostroot/cgi-bin. As the URL indicates the main UI script is BackupPC_Admin (which appears in 2 places - /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin and /usr/share/webapps/backuppc/3.0.0_beta3/hostroot/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin). The scripts that perform the actual work of backups are in /usr/bin. Unfortunately my beta3 installation is presently b0rked (the "unix bind" problem I posted last night). I wish I could give you more info. The info above is based on a Gentoo installation. I'm not sure how closely that follows BackupPC's default locations. If you'd like a copy of the output generated during the install, I can post that. HTH. Regards, David ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
