[BackupPC-users] RS6000/AIX

[Phill B. <Phill@WebWombat.com>]

Hi list,

Forgot to mention that we have BackupPC backing up RS6000/AIX.

All that is required is:
1) gtar from Bull's AIX freeware site (they have V4.3.3 and V5).
2) ssh/sshd from Bull's AIX freeware site.
3) chmod gtar to suexec from the BackupPC uid and lock up in BackupPC's home
dir so only BackupPC can get to it.
4) Change the config.pl so it uses the correct tar.

now it looks just like a Linux box to BackupPC. Goodbye Tivoli Storage
Mangler.....

Same sort of thing should work for the SUN/Solaris boxes too.

Hope this helps someone.
Phill.
