[BackupPC-users] log file verbosity

[Norman J. Goldstein]

In my host LOG file, I get the line

  2022-02-22 20:12:24 can't ping melodic 
 (client = melodic 
); exiting


but would like to see the actual command line that was used (I ping just 
fine from an xterm). There is a parameter XferLogLevel, but I did not 
see anything for the host log file.


Thank you.___

[BackupPC-users] How to stop email notification for a client PC owner

[Chris Wu]

Hi,

Is there a way to stop email notifications for a client PC owner? If the 
client PC has been disabled for backups, does it still send email notifications?
Thanks.

Kind regards,
Chris.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to disable to backup a client PC

[Dave Sherohman via BackupPC-users]

In the directory where config.pl lives, there should be a pc/ 
subdirectory.  The per-host config files go in that subdirectory. (Note 
that, on debian, pc/ is a symlink back to the same directory, so the 
global config.pl and the per-host configs are all in the same place.)



The per-host config files are named [host].pl and don't exist until you 
create them, which is why you can't find it.



You should also be able to manage them through the web interface by 
using the "Edit Config" sidebar option on the individual host's detail 
page, but I've only ever used that to view per-host customizations, not 
to change anything, so I don't know if there are any gotchas to watch 
out for.

Hi,

    As per the doc of BackupPC, it says below

    "To disable backups for a client$Conf{BackupsDisable} 
can 
be set to two different values in that client's per-PC config.pl file:


1.

Don't do any regular backups on this machine. Manually requested
backups (via the CGI interface) will still occur.

2.

Don't do any backups on this machine. Manually requested backups
(via the CGI interface) will be ignored.

This will still allow the client's old backups to be browsable and 
restorable."


   Does anyone know where the "per-PC config.pl file" is? I can only 
find the file /etc/BackupPC/config.pl, but this file should be a 
global config file other than per-PC config file specific to the PC 
that will be disabled for backups.


      Thanks.


Kind regards,

Chris
