Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup to localhost?

[Rob M. <ro...@di...>]

How can i tell if it used the config.pl in te pc folder or the main one?

It seemed to have work ok last night but not sure if it used the new 
config or the main one? the new config uses this for backing up the 
localhost

##### start of the per pc config #####

$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/'];

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}=['/proc','/sys','/dev','/tmp','/var/log', 
'/mnt/usb', '/data/var/log', '/data/var/spool', '/data/BACKUP'];

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo'
                    . ' $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
                    . ' --totals';

$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';

$Conf{CompressLevel} = 3;

$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';

$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo'
                   . ' $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner'
                   . ' -v -f - -C $shareName+';

##### end of the per pc config #####
