Whatever happens it has to go straight to the NFS as that's the only
storage I'll have that's big enough to take anything. Big disks are
cheap these days. Or use one part of the NFS share for backuppc, another
for what you send to tape.
Echo Les, what he said.
You will find your BackupPC
The Systems Admin told me they are setting up a 5TB NFS share for me to use.
Any gotcha's anyone can think of before I go ahead with configuration?
There's nothing like diving right into the deep end.
They will be having me back up more Linux systems after I successfully take
care of the big sore

Are you planning to mount the NFS share as the top of the backuppc
archive
I am planning on mounting the share as the TopDir.
I'm going to start small and see where it fails, then deal with it.
This part sounds like it would be a lot simpler and way more effective to
tar archive everything we want to store and then copy the results to tape.
Or - there's a way to tar

Umm, is it wise to plan something that you expect to fail under
typical conditions?

Just an FYI, you probably avoided this problem (the hard way) by
manually installing some of the perl packages. They are available in
an optional RHEL (not EPEL) repository that is disabled by default.
See the following bug for details:

Actually I read about enabling the optional RHEL repo while researching
this problem so I had done that as well.
Manually installing things made it so the system only had to get that last
dependency and then it went ahead and installed BackupPC.
Reading the docs, it's the final frontier...
Now
I'm still curious about how you plan to get it to your DPM.
As am I.
I'm taking a 'one step at a time' approach here.
My network admin hasn't given me the storage share address yet nor do I have
permission on the system that is to be backed up.
I've got BackupPC installed, and am waiting until I

Just to verify it works I tried installing to a chroot environment[1]
as I don't have access to an EL system. The only thing I can think of
is somehow your yum data was out of date or something like that.
The only thing I can think of is to try:
# yum clean all
It's pretty radical but
Thanks everyone, I assumed something that was not true.
This problem is behind me, I truly appreciate the help here - even though it
pointed out something that I failed to verify as working.
Once I added EPEL and then installed BackupPC it went as smoothly as anyone
would expect.

Well I've been told we are using backuppc, so that's why I am using it.
That's the way it works where I work.
I tried installing from EPEL.
You said:
You should probably configure the EPEL yum repository and use 'yum
install backuppc' to do the install. The way yum works, it will
install any

Why not mount an NFS share to TOPDIR? If BackupPC is already working for
you correctly, you should be done!
The thing is, though:
