Hi there again, Another question, all backups are stores in /opt/backuppc/files/pc which is find I'd like to make these files public (readonly) in my samba server (in sme7.2), which means that files have to be under /home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup(name of my share on the server)/files I could change the parameter : topdir in backuppc to the acurate folder, but it would also put the entire /opt/bacuppc/files in the samba share, and not only the subfolder /pc Then I thought that there might be the possibility to create a shortcut saying /home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup/files is a shortcut of the real /opt/backuppc/files/pc folder but I don't know how to do it, anyone could help me ? thanks, Edd |

There's another backup system I've used that will allow what you are looking for. It's called rsnapshot. It is lacking in some features that BackupPC has, but it is a good program and you might want to look into it. http://www.rsnapshot.org/ -Rob Edouard de Ganay wrote: > Hi there again, > > Another question, > > all backups are stores in /opt/backuppc/files/pc > which is find > > I'd like to make these files public (readonly) in my samba server (in sme7.2), > which means that files have to be under > /home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup(name of my share on the server)/files > > I could change the parameter : topdir in backuppc to the acurate folder, but it > would also put the entire /opt/bacuppc/files in the samba share, and not only > the subfolder /pc > > Then I thought that there might be the possibility to create a shortcut saying > /home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup/files is a shortcut of the real > /opt/backuppc/files/pc folder > > but I don't know how to do it, > anyone could help me ? > > thanks, > > Edd > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?

I experimented with it for a while and had some conversations with the developer before I found BackupPC. Last I knew, it didn't do pooling of duplicate files between hosts; but it does use real rsync instead of a perl module, so the problem of partial backups losing files, doesn't come up. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com |
