Yes, I back up content and configurations on my web and mail servers along with my linux workstations using it. Adding window$ and Mac clients strikes me as a natural and useful extension.

I'm sorry I ended up hijacking this thread with this, since my issues were with the RPM and not with the guide (which is very good from a quick read). What would be the appropriate way to give feedback on packages that are in CentOS-Testing? Maybe this Because this mailing list is for the Wiki documentation and not a place to discuss applications (as you noted), perhaps you can start by adding your findings in the bug report Steve initiated (and quoted in his mail): http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3175 At least what is reported in this bug report has been reproduced by 3 people including myself, it seems. We may need some input from Johnny here because he did not find the same issue with the 64-bit version. I would like to help in any way I can to get the CentOS version of BackupPC working for everybody.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Added BackupPC Guide
Max, Wow. Thanks for the BackupPC guide. I've looked at BackupPC a few times over the last couple of years but haven't gotten around to actually trying to deploy it yet because something always got bumped up in front of as being a more important task... mainly because the modest rsync/rdiff-backup setup was working well enough. Your guide will enable me to deploy in a more timely and productive manner when the time does come. Regarding the arch issues... I feel compelled to mention OpenVZ containers as a very good solution to the problem. Feel free to run x86_64 on the host node and then create x86_64 containers or i386 containers... whichever suites your needs... AND you can use the container to isolate the environment giving you a dedicated BackupPC server without having to dedicate a physical machine. Backing up, migrating, or cloning a BackupPC container would be very easy and you could even offer a pre-configured OpenVZ OS Template with BackupPC already installed and configured... well, as generically configured as possible.

S.Tindall wrote: Nope. Maybe someday. So you're asking me to apply something to a guide which you want, but yet to you don't want to offer time to add to the document yourself? My view of a HowTo's purpose is to make the described service useful to a wide audience. You don't interact with or administer window$ systems? Yes, I interact with Windows systems. All my desktop machines at work are Windows, however I don't back anything up from them. I use roaming profiles under Samba, which is under Linux. All user settings are then backed up normally from the Linux Samba server. If we limited the HowTos to centos-specific issues, they would read like a readme file. Consider the centos wiki mail HowTos which contain significant non-centos information that helps people get their mail server up and running securely. Again, my guide stated it was primarily for a CentOS BackupPC server backing up other Linux servers and machines. If you want it to be more broad, then add the content that you want. That's the entire point of a Wiki. Yes, I back up content and configurations on my web and mail servers along with my linux workstations using it. Adding window$ and Mac clients strikes me as a natural and useful extension. Ok, so add that part. When I wrote that guide this week, I had no intention on needing that aspect. So, if you need it, then write the sections and add it. Eventually I might need those aspects of BackupPC, but for now, I don't. Considering that you don't seem to be volunteering your time and writing to adding to the page, you seem to be awfully picky and demanding of what I spent time writing. If it's not what you want, improve on it then. For the third time to everyone, if you have something you want to change, add, edit, or delete, go to it. I don't know how to be more clear that I don't care if you want to edit or add to any of my pages I've contributed to. That being said, I'm personally done discussing this. You don't seem to be very appreciative to others volunteering any kind of time to the Wiki.

You are correct William, I did misread what Steve was trying to say, and I didn't mean to sound harsh. I also explained in my reply back to Akemi why I felt Windows was off-topic: because the CentOS lists kind of create that feeling. That's why I didn't really want to discuss Windows related things.
