Make a pre-backup script which checks that the ftp mount is up and
running. To my understanding this would be defined using
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/bin/bash /usr/local/your_script.sh'; or
perl or whatever.
If you know any perl ruby or python then I suggest you leverage those
skills. Otherwise do a quick google for 'bash filetest'.

Okay, gotcha. Thanks. I now see how the web tool manages this with the override checkboxes. That makes sense regarding sections of the document being added or changed. So far I'm very happy with what I see. -jesse On Wed, Jun 22, 2011 at 4:04 PM, Les Mikesell wrote: > On 6/22/2011 2:42 PM, Jesse Callaway wrote: >> >> On the scope of per-host config statements: >> >> All configuration settings in the second through fifth groups can be >> overridden by the per-PC config.pl file. >> > [...] >> >> Does this mean that rsync and ftp are not configurable per-client?

Great news, thanks Les.
Looking for more documentation now on the per-client configs. I see a
reference to
/etc/BackupPC/pc/$host.pl
under the WinXX part of Client Setup.
Oh... okay. I see. The docs are not very up-in-your-face about this,
but it's covered under
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#configuration_file
On the per-host config file location:
The optional per-PC configuration file (__CONFDIR__/pc/$host.pl or
__TOPDIR__/pc/$host/config.pl in non-FHS versions of BackupPC) is read
whenever it is needed by BackupPC_dump, BackupPC_link and others.
On the scope of per-host config statements:
All configuration settings in the second through fifth groups can be
overridden by the per-PC config.pl file.
Here is a list of the configuration groups and their settings.

[BackupPC-users] multiple transfer protcols
Is it possible to run smb, rsync, rsyncd, and tar all from a single BackupPC installation? Or is the default transfer protocol used globally for all clients? Specifically, I have clients which I would prefer to use rsync over ssh with, however being that I have an equal number of windows machines I'd like to back up over smb I feel stuck. Supposing I don't want to screw around with rsync on windows, or smb shares on linux clients is it advisable to run multiple copies of BackupPC, or is there a way to do both types of backups using one instance?
