[BackupPC-users] scp as the transfer?

2008-08-18 Thread Ward... James Ward
Since I don't have rsync or gnu tar on my busybox console servers, is  
it possible to configure BackupPC to use scp?

No, the only values for $Conf{XferMethod} for backups are smb, rsync,  
rsyncd and tar. See the documentation:

... which basically puts you in a position where you have to copy the busybox 
data to another machine, using for example scp from cron, and then backup the 
copy instead. Messy, but it works.

Good luck!
