[BackupPC-users] question about catalog

Hello, I want to backup my backuppc server. Questions: 1. Where is the catalog, and what is the best practice for backing it up. 2. I was just going to tar the config. What are the essential files / file systems needed to capture. -Thanks, David Owens Systems Administrator

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc appears to be ignoring home directories on full and incrementals

The log shows a single backup occurring. Did you verify that each machine showed disk and network activity? Maybe only one machine got backed up, but the GUI is showing machineA's stats for machineB and machineC. On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 10:53 PM, G Jones wrote: > The logs don't really have any

I had an issue with the root filesystem of my backuppc server (system A) which required a restore. So I moved the pool disk to another computer (system B), installed backuppc on that computer, booted system A off of a live CD, and prepared for a restore. However, system B assigned a different

Per the suggestion of somebody on this list, I use Exmerge (downloadable from MS's website) to backup my Exchange server. It saves a pst file for each individual account and has rsync-like properties for restoring -- for example it can restore new email messages only, if you want it to. My Exchan

Re: [BackupPC-users] Almost working

I agree with Nils that CentOS would be a better choice for you. If you like Fedora, you'll find that CentOS is nearly identical. If you're looking to try new things (sounds like you aren't, though), you could try Debian or Ubuntu's LTS version. If you want the longest support cycle for a server-

Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up large SQL DB's

I believe the way it works is: Rsync divides the file up into blocks and transfers only the blocks that have changed. Then it re-assembles the file on the receiving side using the changed blocks (that were just transfered) and the unchanged blocks (which already existed on the receiving side). -

Re: [BackupPC-users] possible to schedule unattended backups with backuppc?

Juan, this is exactly what BackupPC does. Backups can be done via ssh and rsync, ssh and tar, rsyncd, or smb (probably not the best choice for a unix server). -Rob Juan Miscaro wrote: > I would like to use backuppc to back up some unix servers. Is it > possible to configure a central backuppc s
