I was able to ask questions regarding not only BackupPC, but also it's interaction with the OS, with client OSes, and the various backup methods. As an example, I am converting large portions of my network from Linux to BSD. I have a FreeNAS and was considering whether it would be better to slice off an iscsi LUN and make it available to my backup server, or run it directly in a jail on the NAS. I appreciate those users who may have FreeBSD experience, and think that they may have good suggestions. In fact, I remember years ago, that there was a question about possible interactions between ZFS (the primary filesystem of some of the BSDs) and BackupPC. > Whoever might be responsible, please kindly consider creating a > backuppc-users > list at Fedora, Redhat or whereever, and announcing creation of the list > here, > so whoever is interested can subscribe there, and we can point others > toward > it when appropriate.

See https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/BackupPC.html#_conf_clientnamealias_ You can setup hosts using any name such as "database_prod" then use ClientNameAlias to point to it's real resolvable hostname or IP address.

[BackupPC-users] Problem Backing up RHEL7

Re: [BackupPC-users] Replication
Hi Philippe, Yes. Using for example ZFS or rsync with BackupPC 4 you can replicate everything, even offsite. There are a few short threads on this from before. Let us know if your datacenter has any specifics that this should fit into. If there is broader demand, I'll consider wruting some documentation on how to set it up.
