[BackupPC-users] Changing Backup Location

Hello, I'm new to backuppc and having a problem with changing where backups are to be stored. I am running Kububtu 10.04 with the official Ubuntu BackupPC install. I changed the topdir entry in /etc/backuppc/config.pl from the original setting of /var/lib/backuppc to my preferred location on a

Hi, Just to share the alternative ping I'm successfully using with PCs running Windows XP that only have the ssh port open for cygwin sshd. The server is running on Debian. It tries to connect to port 22 (sshd) with netcat. On connection it runs /bin/true and exits with 0. If no connection

Re: [BackupPC-users] file exclude not working

So I believe I have figured it out. Seems rsync does relative filtering from the "root" directory that you are copying from. Here is the little blurb from the rsync man: o if the pattern starts with a / then it is anchored to a particu- lar spot in the hierarchy of

[BackupPC-users] Importing a former installation

Hi Folks, I got a little problem. I got a new job within a new firm which is the legal successor of another firm. This old firm is already terminated and all we got left from the IT infrastructure is a dd image of the BackupPC-Server. I reconstructed it into a harddisk on our new backup-server whi

[BackupPC-users] It's not working here

I'm trying to setup a backup system for my home-office LAN which consists of three Xubuntu Hardy 8.04.4 boxes and one that runs Win98SE. Initially I've left the Windows box out of the mix; the three Xubuntu boxes are configured to use tar rather than rsync, and while I'm getting it to work I'm only

Thanks Ryan. I will try that but wondering why the BackupFilesExcludeis not working. I would think that it would either add the --exclude args to the list or from what it seems to be doing sen
