If your machine is called 'foo.bar.tld' in your /etc/backuppc/hosts file, then create a file called '/etc/backuppc/foo.bar.tld.pl' and give it contents that redefine variables in the config.pl file. Here's an example file, which even has exclude patterns for two possible rsyncd shares that you might connect to (even tho only one is being connected to); 'docs' (c:\Documents and Settings\) and 'cDrive' (C:\). It's really a 'template' of sorts, so there's a few things in there which can be uncommented or commented if there's a need. # some examples #$Conf{NmbLookupCmd} = '/bin/true'; # #$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = '192.168.113.113; $Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1; # if at all possible use rsync or rsyncd for the transport mechanism # it catches changed files more reliably and only transfers the changes # even with full backups $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive']; $Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backupuser'; $Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'XXXXXX'; $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = { 'docs' => [ '*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/', '*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Recovery/Active/', '*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*', '*/Local Settings/Temp/*', '*/Local Settings/History/', '*/My Documents/My Music', '*/My Documents/My Videos', '*/My Documents/My Pictures', '*/My Documents/Private', '*/Cookies/', '*/Favorites/', '*/IETldCache/', '*/IECompatCache/', '*/NetHood/', '*/PrivacIE/', '*/PrintHood/', '*/WINDOWS/', '*/Recent/', '*/Webex/', '*/temp/', '*/avg8', '*/*.msi', '*/NTUSER.DAT', '*/NTUSER.DAT.LOG', '*/ntuser.dat.LOG', '*/UsrClass.dat', '*/UsrClass.dat.LOG', ], 'cDrive' => [ '/RECYCLER', '/WINNT', '/temp', '/WUTemp', '/WINDOWS', '/System Volume Information', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*/Cache/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Recovery/Active/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/History/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temp/*', '/Documents and Settings/*/Cookies/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Favorites/', '/Documents and Settings/*/IETldCache/', '/Documents and Settings/*/IECompatCache/', '/Documents and Settings/*/NetHood/', '/Documents and Settings/*/PrivacIE/', '/Documents and Settings/*/PrintHood/', '/Documents and Settings/*/WINDOWS/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Recent/', '/Documents and Settings/*/Webex/', '/Documents and Settings/*/temp/', '/pagefile.sys', '/hiberfil.sys', '/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/My Music', '/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/My Videos', '/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/My Pictures', '/Documents and Settings/*/My Documents/Private', '/Documents and Settings/*/avg8', '*.avi', '*.AVI', '*.mp3', '*.MP3', '*.mpg', '*.MPG', '*/*.msi', '*/NTUSER.DAT', '*/NTUSER.DAT.LOG', '*/ntuser.dat.LOG', '*/UsrClass.dat', '*/UsrClass.dat.LOG', ] }; -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-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/
