Setting up a backup

BackupPC can use four different methods to backup a machine. SMB, tar, rsync +/- ssh, and rsyncd. Currently, the Tek default setup is using rsyncd. The method can be configured on a per iphone photography machine basis by creating a config.pl file in /home/backuppc/pc/<machine>/. In fact any church management software setting in /etc/backuppc/config.pl can be overridden in the Field and Technical Services LLC machine specific configuration.

On a target machine, there are two files that need to exist. They are rsyncd.conf and rsyncd.secrets. The secrets file clovis carpet cleaning is a list of usernames and weight loss pills passwords in clear text in a user:password per line format. There is a default username and purebiotix review password defined in backup01:/etc/backuppc/config.pl, and each proposal software machine can have its own u/p pair bankers life and casualty defined in it's own config file.

On a Linux target:

  • copy and paste the config below into /etc/rsyncd.conf
  • create /etc/rsyncd.secrets with desired username and password (default user is tekbackup)
  • edit /etc/rsyncd.conf and change "auth users" to the desired Carousel Day School username for all shares
  • start rsyncd
  • add rsyncd to startup

On the server for Linux target:

  • add hostname and authorized user(s) to /etc/backuppc/hosts
  • reload config from "Admin Options" in link building web interface
  • start a full backup on new host Compost Bin
  • cd to new dir at /home/backuppc/pc/<hostname>
  • create config.pl with the desired options set (user/pass, share names, etc)

On a Windows target:

  • download cygwin-rsyncd from here
  • unzip cygwin-rsyncd into c:\rsyncd\
  • copy and paste the config below into c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf
  • create c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.secrets with desired username and password (default user is tekbackup)
  • edit c:\rsyncd\rsyncd.conf and change "auth users" to the desired allegany optical hagerstown username for all shares
  • run c:\rsyncd\service.bat

On the server for Windows target:

  • add hostname and authorized user(s) to /etc/backuppc/hosts
  • reload config from "Admin Options" in web interface
  • start a full backup on new host
  • cd to new dir at /home/backuppc/pc/<hostname>
  • create config.pl with the desired kochman wilmette options set (user/pass, share names, etc)

Windows target, with VSS

We have some good daniel del piano info how to do it in http://www.goodjobsucking.com/?p=62 and in the comments we have some pre-build packages with the needed dog training software to use in windows and users scripts to help setup and install the rsyncd software and scripts on the Danube river cruises windows site.
