Luis Paulo After a bit it became evident that I needed more authority so I ended up by: Opened a bash session terminal. then sudo htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc then I first was prompted for my password because of using sudo then I was prompted for new password (twice) after which I got the response: Updating passwd for user backuppc then I opened Firefox browser and entered: http://192.168.1.16/backuppc/ then (I think) I got the request for user and password which I provided after which the web gui came up on Firefox with the following information: General Server Information * The servers PID is 6368, on host Ubuntu, version 3.0.0, started at 4/9 15:56. * This status was generated at 4/10 17:10. * The configuration was last loaded at 4/9 15:56. * PCs will be next queued at 4/10 18:00. * Other info: * 0 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup, * 0 pending user backup requests, * 0 pending command requests, * Pool is 0.03GB comprising 3355 files and 3267 directories (as of 4/10 01:00), * Pool hashing gives 0 repeated files with longest chain 0, * Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 4/10 01:00), * Pool file system was recently at 85% (4/10 17:06), today's max is 85% (4/10 01:00) and yesterday's max was 85%. Currently Running Jobs Host Type User Start Time Command PID Xfer PID Failures that need attention Host Type User Last Try Details Error Time Last error (other than no ping) Does the Pool have a copy of all my file fro "/"? Do I do this same thing for the next machine or can I do the other machines remotely from 192.168.1.16? Or, do I want to. I don't want the backup on the same machine as being backed up and that looks like that may be the case? Are the files in the backup now compressed? How would I do a restore if tomorrow 192.168.1.16 died? Should I have a dedicated backup and restore machine and if yes can I use an older machine (and I mean old)? How do my questions come close to the current defaults? Sorry for all the questions and based on your response there will be many more questions. Thanks -- Ted Hilts PS: I probably won't get back to my email till later tonight or later but I will try to take a look at your responses. Thanks again.
