Hi,
I am trying to figure what settings to change and to what in order to
trigger a full backup every night at 3am and keep 7 days worth of
backups before deleting them...
I'd rather stick with the web-based GUI-provided settings. So, what
settings do I change (from default ones) on the Schedule
windows doesn't have an ssh server...
Anyway, any ideas as to how to do all this?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Just kidding. Yes, I should've googled it, you're right.

Yes, the numbered backup is completely deleted. Backup #0 under the
directory '0' is now the backup of the new configuration. I know the
old backup was definitely there before. I know this because I browsed
it through the Web interface. Then, I changed the configuration,
restarted BackupPC

Yes, I did restart the Apache server. In fact, I even restarted the
machine. Still the same thing.
Any ideas?

Really? Cool!
So, the user listed in the 'hosts' files has nothing to do with the
user set up on the yaakovlt machine, but has to do with the user setup
in BackupPC?
Thanks,
Yaakov.

Maybe someone can point out to me what I am doing wrong
I have one host working just fine for already a couple of months...
So, now I wanted to add another machine to be backed up. So, I edited
the hosts file and added another almost identical line to it. Now, it
looks like this:

Hi,

Since the backups are stored in a pool which stores JUST the
difference between the older and newer files, than what is the
difference then?

Ok, I put the full path in. Now, it tells me this:

Hi,
Now that I got my BackupPC working, I broke it again trying to secure
it further.
Previously, I was told here that I should not be running Apache web
server as the same user as running BackupPC.
So, I kept Apache running as 'apache' user and switched BackupPC (in
config.pl) to be backuppc
repositories, so there is definitely a reason to separate them...
Question is whether it's anymore secure or if the way BackupPC works,
it won't matter in the end.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Yaakov.

If you are using mod_perl then apache should run as user

it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Hi,
(Sigh... So many problems with this backup...)
I was trying to configure a backup of the localhost. For a test, I
took 2 test directories with 2 2 liner text files as the thing to
backup.
I configured 'sudo' and setup for this host is:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = 'sudo $rsyncPath $argList+'
,
Yaakov.
Thank you,
Yaakov.

I think you got that error because /data/BackupPC is owned by user
apache. It's supposed to be owned by user backuppc. Same goes for any
of its subdirectories.

to the host as a
regular user, and use sudo, then config.pl needs to change. You need to
replace root with the username you want to connect with. And you need
to throw a sudo in front of the rsync command.

Would this require a different configuration within the config.pl

Hi,
I have a LAN where every machine has a static IP address. Furthermore,
each machine has a custom 'hosts' file which gives those IP addresses
a host name.
I don't necessarily want to back up the entire drive on each machine,
but only certain directories.
