[BackupPC-users] daemon not starting on Ubuntu start-up
Every time I reboot my Ubuntu server, I have to restart the backuppc manually. I figured this must be an Ubuntu packaging problem, something to do with the sysvinit config, but I've checked those out and from my limited knowledge of sysvinit, backuppc appears to have good settings in the appropriate run-levels: 0 - - 1 - K20 2 - S20 3 - S20 4 - S20 5 - S20 6 - - S20 seems a bit early though. Apache for instance has S91. However it could also be an error in the start-up script rather than it not executing at all - for instance I have the backups on a removable USB harddrive, and I am playing with Apache at the moment - could either of those stop backuppc from starting or even logging? I can't find any logged errors though in the syslog or the backuppc log. I've had zero feedback from my question to the package maintainers at ubuntu (as is typical in my experience). Thanks for any advice, regards Adam -- Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.

As the boot process was trying to start BackpPC before the NAS was mounted, it failed. I dont have that setup anymore so I can't help you with a solution but perhaps its a starting point to investigate.

Re: [BackupPC-users] daemon not starting on Ubuntu start-up
I remember reading somewhere that the sum of Sxx and Kyy for a service should be 100, so _if_ on runlevel 1 you have K20, you should have S80 on the runlevels on which the service should run. I think your concern for S20 is valid, try increasing it.

For several years now, Ubuntu and all of its close relatives have used "upstart" instead of the SysV init technique for booting. Since upstart launches things in parallel, rather than the strictly defined sequence of SysV, it's quite likely that the startup script is attempting to launch BackupPC before the network or associated drives are available. You could create an upstart startup script, or possibly simply call the existing script from /etc/rc.local. As for support, the Ubuntu forums at http://ubuntuforums.org provide the best support I've ever encountered for any distribution. It's all volunteer, no specific connection to the actual maintainers, but a number of the forum staff do take active roles in the development process. Their wiki contains extensive discussions of the upstart process and how to adapt to it. I've never tried to contact the maintainers directly, nor have I felt any need to do so. When I switched from Mandriva to Xubuntu back in 2007, the *buntu releases were still SysV, so when the switch to upstart happened I had to go through the re-learning process. It eventually becomes a simpler thing, but initially it tends to be more than a bit mind-boggling... -- Jim Kyle mailto: j...@jimkyle.com -- Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.

Dear all, Two questions =) If I want to use BackupPC for laptops for different people, can they then login them self to the web interface and configure backup jobs and restore the files them self? Are there Active Directory integration, so login credentials are taken from an AD instead of a locale database?

Yes, when you add a host as a target, you can specify a list of users that can see it in the web interface and that will receive email about failures. > Are there Active Directory integration, so login credentials are taken > from an AD instead of a locale database? The web interface runs under Apache. BackupPC won't include any specific AD integration of its own, but if you can configure Apache to authenticate the users against AD with the names you used in the host setup, everything should work. And Apache has a lot of ways to configure authentication. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Managing the Performance of Cloud-Based Applications Take advantage of what the Cloud has to offer - Avoid Common Pitfalls.

Ok, so users can not configure which directories to be backed up on their laptop?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can users login themself to see their backuped files?
There are ways around this. For instance, I use this RsyncClientCmd: $sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host sudo $rsyncPath --exclude-from=/home/backuppc/exclude $argList+ Then I symlink the "/home/backuppc/exclude" file somewhere where the user can create a file with the list of patterns to exclude from backup. An alternative that may work, but involves fiddling with the action dispatch code, is here: http://www.tummy.com/blogs/2009/03/05/adding-an-audit-interface-to-backuppc/ See also the comment (by me, incidentally).

Jasmine, I am very sorry. It is configurable.
User's can edit their host-specific configuration if enabled via
$Conf{CgiUserConfigEditEnable}. The specific subset of configuration settings
that a user can edit is specified with $Conf{CgiUserConfigEdit}.

That's very nice, I had no idea you could do that. Disregard my previous
