Re: [BackupPC-users] Windows XP backup NOT entire drive just one or two folders

2011-02-16 Thread Rob Morin 
I found the searchable email list and found my answer.

 

I made my conf file look like this and it worked fine!

 

$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'domain_name\\admin';

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [

  'c$'

];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {

  'c$' => ['/outlook']

};

 

>From what I can see it was the /   rather than \ that did it

 

Thanks to all!

Forgot to show what the config file looks like, sorry

 

$Conf{SmbShareUserName} = 'domain_name\\admin';

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [

  'c$'

];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {

  'c$' => [

'\\outlook'

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Windows XP backup NOT entire drive just one or two
folders

 

Hello all my first post, so please be gentle.

 

I installed and setup backupPC(3.1) on my Ubuntu(maverick) Linux box via
apt-get.

 

I use to use BackupPC a few years back for linux only backups and it worked
great. Recently my HP tape drive failed at work and I figured I would go to
disk backup instead and give BackupPC a try once again but for Windows boxen
this time.

 

So I configure a Windows XP(sp3) machine as a test before I go to windows
server 2008 R2. But for the life of me I cannot get BackupPC to backup only
a particular drive??

I googled and found a few posts, and I thought I had found one here.

http://aproductivelife.blogspot.com/2010/05/backuppc-basic-setup-and-configu
ration.html

 

But those instructions do not work.

Basically I want to ONLY backup the folder named outlook on the c: drive of
a few manager's PCs

I follwed this specific screen shot

600/000-2010-04-29+21+36.jpg

 

I am using the GUI rather than edit the files as I wanted to make it simple
for others to use when I am away or if other sys admins need to restore
files..

 

No matter what I configure it always backs up the entire C$ dirve rather
than just the c:\outlook folder?

 

I am dumbfounded.

 

Can someone throw me a bone? J

 

Thanks in advance.
