The BackupPC mailing list is pretty helpful: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Like John R. Pierce, I use rsync to back up my Windows clients. There was an updated cygwin rsync link posted to the BackupPC list not long ago. It's pretty simple to set up. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hello, Been working on this for a couple days and I am stuck! Followed the CentOS WIKI on BackupPC to the letter. It may be outdated, not sure. I also looked at the tutorial on HowToForge. I'm trying to get a windows client to backup via smb. I created the user 'backuppc' on the windows client with admin priviledges. I can map the drive/share from my CentOS Samba server using

I am interested in understanding the thing with BackupPC. What does it have compared to basic rsync? - It has a webui Is it like a central backup server? if so, how it works with windows clients(if it is?) Just want to make sure.. I understood right. Why did you choose this over other software? Thanks, Eliezer On 20/09/2015 16:51, Timothy Murphy wrote: > I'd be interested in any

There is an upgraded BackupPC in the testing repository. It is version 3.0.0, which was released in January. The setup differences between version 2.1.2 and this version is that some file directories have shifted locations: 1. /var/lib/backuppc/conf is now instead /etc/BackupPC/ 2. /var/lib/backuppc/log is now /var/log/BackupPC =============================== If you are upgrading ... you

When I try to start BackupPC with "sudo systemctl restart backuppc" on my CentOS-7 server (running kernel 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64) I get the following error in /var/log/BackupPC/LOG 2015-09-26 13:58:14 Reading hosts file 2015-09-26 13:58:14 unix bind() failed: No such file or directory This message occurs in the Perl script /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC : my $sockFile

Seems like a packaging bug in EPEL. Fedora does this

1. I'm running - or trying to run - BackupPC under Centos-5.2, and have been looking at various BackupPC HOWTOs and tutorials. I see that the "Falko" tutorial at <http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_backuppc> recommends (on page 3) that one should enter one's username, "falko" in this case, as the user in /etc/BackupPC/hosts . Other tutorials suggest one should use

I'd be interested in any corrections or comments on the following instructions (basically for myself): We assume that BackupPC has been installed: sudo yum install BackupPC 1. BackupPC must be run by the user backuppc. Accordingly the lines User apache Group apache in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should be changed to User backuppc Group backuppc 2. The user backuppc must be able to

BackupPC version 1.5.0 has been released on SourceForge, see http://backuppc.sourceforge.net. BackupPC a high-performance perl-based package for backing up linux, unix or WinXX PCs and laptops to a server's disk. BackupPC is highly configurable and easy to install and maintain. No client SW is needed. BackupPC uses Samba's smbclient to extract files via SMB from WinXX clients, and uses
