I searched but didn't find anything in the forum/list.
I have Backuppc running on server "compta00" that is backing up client machine "fichiers00"...or at least that's what I want it to do. Instead, it backs itself up (i.e. Backuppc's "localhost" files instead of the client's files).
I'm using "tar" as the method and have exchanged SSH keys to hopefully allow Backuppc to connect and do what it needs to do on the client host.
Here is the configuration for this client:
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = [
'/etc',
'/bin',
'/boot',
'/home',
'/dev',
'/opt',
'/sbin',
'/usr',
'/var',
'/root'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/var' => [
'/lib/backuppc'
],
'./class' => [
'*'
],
'/home' => [
'/.gvfs/*'
],
'./devices' => [
'*'
]
};
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals --ignore-failed-read';
$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';
$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';
I do most everything via the web interface and my Linux command line skills are fair at best. Also I've tried using the client's host name "fichiers00" and its ip address "172.20.0.2", but that didn't change anything. Backuppc is running from "compta00"/"172.20.0.5". Also worth noting, Backuppc is running on "fichiers00" as well. It does a local system backup. My goal is to do a second backup from another machine for redundancy of some critical stuff. I can't imagine how having Backuppc running on the client machine as well would interfere, but, hey, something's wrong so I might as well look at everything!
Thanks for any help!
