One more question i have, when i see the backups being created by
backuppc, to each directory name, i see f%2f prefixed to it. So this
means i would always need backuppc running to restore files and hence
a browser ? I can't use the normal rsync / command line to restore
files for any machine :(
The file is compressed and doesn't have correct attributes since it is
a link that may be shared by many instances. You can use these
command line tools to access the backups directly:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#commandline_restore_options
You could use BackupPC_tarCreate through ssh, of course, to restore
elsewhere.
Or you can use the server's restore option or download a tar or zip
copy through a browser.
Thanks for the link. I see BackupPC_tarCreate and BackupPC_zipCreate for
tar and zip. Is there an rsync version ? So instead of creating a tar or
zip, it can rsync the data over to another location ?
The reason i asked is because the amount of data i am going to backup is
1T+ and thus creating a tar of the same would be unnecessary time
consuming job, whereas infact i would only want to rsync the data across
to another location.
My main motive is incase i don't have access to a browser, i can still
restore files using console. My backup server runs behind a firewall, i
only have console access to the server.
