A colleague of mine has started using BackupPC on one of his servers.
He is required to make a backup of the systems once a week on DVD as
well. What he would like to be able to do is have BackupPC restore
the files to a separate partition (preferably as a tar archive) so
that he can automate this

Hi,
I have ~160 servers connected on a high speed internal network which
I use to do backups. Additionally I have ~50 remote servers which I
back up over the external network. It's taking about a week to make
the rounds of all the systems. Would it make more sense to use tar
on the int
Using 2.1.2pl2:
I recently switched from using rsync (because it was getting a few
hundred megs into a backup then giving me an (Unable to read 4 bytes)
error, and not even keeping a partial), to using rsyncd. I got this
working right earlier today and kicked off a manual full backup, ie.

I use such a script - it retrieves the last full backup from BackupPC
archive, and makes tar.gz packages out of it.
When the packages are done, you can write them to tape.

So i have this in a conf file for a certain server, so in this case in
the file stewy.pl i have
$Conf{RsyncShareName} =
['/etc','/var/www/virtual','/var/cache/bind','/var/mail/virtual'];

However it keeps ba
Make sure you have set an admin user to be the user name that should
have complete access to BackupPC from the CGI:
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'panther';
Without this set, anyone you log in as is only a user, and can only see
the machines that the hosts file declares to be associated with that

Hi,
Perhaps with dd ? Something like :
(on the old server)#dd if=/dev/old_partition | ssh new_server dd
of=/dev/new_partition (perhaps indicate the bs= ? But with which ?)
Or with netcat and dd like that :
(new_server)#nc -l -p 1 > /dev/new_part
(old_server)#dd if=/dev/old_part | nc -
