So, I've been trying for a few hours now to get BackupPC working correctly on a mac - (not as a client, but as a *server*). The end goal here is to get backuppc to make backups of localhost to an external firewire drive. However, I'm having a dickens of a time getting the CGI interface to work - it appears that I have to either use mod_perl (which does not appear to be available in this version of apache) or setuid (which this flavor of perl does not have compiled in)
Now, I'm all for getting it done right, but at some point the complexity involved in setting up a tool makes the barrier to entry of using the tool much too high for the usefulness of the tool - in other words, this is too hard to get set up in OS X. I've poked around in the history of this mailing list, and found only suggestions that other tools should be used instead - namely PSyncX (which does not do incremental backups, as far as I can tell). Should I be looking elsewhere (Amanda, PSyncX, etc) for an easier-to- install backup daemon for OS X? -- Kimball ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
