Well there are some small potential gotchas... 1. config.pl has some options that may include a machine or domain name (such as where to send admin emails) - if you set those, make sure to adjust them as needed 2. Also backuppc user & administrator apache/cgi usernames may need to be copied over or adjusted 3. Also if you restrict ssh/rsyncd/smb access on your client machines by IP then you need to adjust that for the new machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
