I started to create a 1 Gb file. Then I tried to expand it to 100Gb but it
became also 1 Gb.
I used "dd if=backup_sparse of=backup_100Gb bs=1M count=10"
Did do it wrong?

no, the backuppc server wont have any idea where to find the client. the
client needs to make the connection.
as for the login session:
log in as a specific remote backup user. lets say reback. reback has no
permissions on the system except and entry in the sudoers file.

A question: are you able to initiate the tunnel from the BackupPC server?
It will be more easily to do that way, I think.
I ask because with the example I gave in the wiki, I am unable to initiate
the tunnel from the client because of the firewall on the client. The
technique would be different,
Hi all.
Is anyone currently backing up over an ssh tunnel? and if so are you using

You can wait for BackupPC_nightly to run or do it this way:

My nfs server is a network disk (Qnap TS-209 Pro) but it actually runs Linux
even if it is a crippled version. So if I understand this correctly, it may
help if
I create (or modify) the "/etc/exports" and then mount the disk again to the
Linux computer that I will run backuppc on?

Hi,
I'm having some trouble trying to get BackupPC working with Lighttpd as
the web server and I hope someone may be able to point me in the right
direction ( as I've got little clue about either piece of software :) )

No. One easy way to see this is that the main host file uses 'root'

Thanks for your answer.
However, I try to install backuppc as root but it is still not possible to
"chown".
I can access the mounted disk as "root" or as any user. But not "chown".
Any ideas?
Can you point me in the right direction regarding the "no_root_squash"
option?
Is it used with the "mount"

Well, it turns out I do not have the usb option after all.
I still have problem to get the nfs optin to work at all.
When I try to install backuppc I get the following:
"Failed to create or chown /mnt/backuppc"
I have mounted the disk with:
"mount -t nfs 192.168.1.5:/backuppc /mnt/backuppc/"

you do have the option of testing it both ways! use nfs with the mount
options -async as suggested in another post and try usb and see what works

For some odd reason using SMB it is not backing up all of the files I
have placed in a particular directory. The directory structure appears
correct in the web admin but all of the directories are empty.

Since you have that option, I would suggest you use the USB. nfs isn't
really very good with backuppc as a file pool.
the more files you have, the more the nfs is going to slow you down. USB
wont be so bad but wont compare to a sata, ide, or scsi drive in IO.

Thank you for your answers!

If you just reinstalled, then the shell that /etc/init.d/backuppc uses may

that location.

Hello,
I used Backuppc for a while on one machine without problems. The backups
were made on a external USB drive that was mounted in /media/disk, and the
directory /media/disk/backuppc was linked to /var/lib/backuppc.
For some reasons I had to connect the USB drive on another PC in my network.
