Hello list, I currently back up some 30 servers and workstations, Linux, Macs and Windows clients using BackupPC and is so far very happy with it. In general, I try to, as far as possible, to use the global exclusion variables to simplify the managing of the clients. Some clients require special variables to be set, like Windows Vista clients, due to the new naming conventions in Vista. The problem is, when I enter one single parameter to a client the variables isn't global anymore, but specific to that partiular client. I.e. on Vista clients I exclude /Documents and Settings and /Users/*/My* since they are just symlinks to other directories, unnecessarily doubling the amount of data being backed up. I can't use those variables on Win XP clients of course.
BTW, I use rsync for all clients, wether it's Linux, Windows og OSX. Is it a way to counter this? I.e. have the global variables staying global even though some settings are client specific? Please advice and thanks, Oblivian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
