Hi all, I have a machine thats been running backuppc for ages (still on 2.1.2). All data is in /home/BackupPC, a 200gb drive sitting on Fedora core 3. BackupPC runs as apache. /usr/local/BackupPC is the program directory.
I want to install a second instance of backuppc directly onto a maxtor usb drive for external backup. Note that i will be backing up the localhost, not the first backuppc instance. I always install via source tarball. i have tried the following: 1. setup a new "backuppc" user. 2. install BackupPC-3.0.0 to /usr/local/BackupPC-usb 3. i left the location of the css and icons the same. 4. split the cgi scripts for each into different directories. 5. copied and modified the init.d script to use BackupPC-usb where appropriate (PID's etc) 6. I also modified BackupPC.pid in /usr/local/BackupPC-usb/bin/BackupPC to be BackupPC-usb.pid Now...i can initially start both fine. But if i shut one down, the both die. Also after a while the cgi falls over, i suspect its getting mixed up. Since i have mucked around and its late, so a fresh start in the morning from scratch is in order ;) Has anyone done this successfully? I saw an old archive post related to a debian way of doing it, but that hasn't helped me out. Am i missing something? Should i use TCP Sockets instead?
