Hi all, We have had our BackupPC server fail completely. I have a backup of (most of) the data pool but not the system. Thus, I will need to rebuild the BackupPC installation. I haven't been able to find any information on how best to recover from this. How to "plug" the old pool into a new BackupPC installation so restores can be done via the interface. Can anyone shed any light on this? I am using the "Copying the pool" instructions in the BackupPC FAQ to restore as much of the pool into the new server but have lost the config directory '/etc/backuppc'. Kind Regards, Geoffrey |

The steps are generally: 1. Copy/move the old pool to the same location as the default installation. IE, for Ubuntu, /var/lib/backuppc 2. Add all the hosts listed in /var/lib/backuppc/pc to /etc/backuppc/hosts You should be able to now see all the hosts, but you'll have to rebuild the default and per-host configurations.
