Backup Central

Hello,

I would like to store the samba password in a different file than
config.pl ( $Conf{SmbSharePasswd}).

After readed documentation, I found nice explanations about the "do"
directive in configuration files.

So I changed my conf/config.pl file to look like this :

#----------------<cut_here>-------------------------------
# [....]
# This setting only matters if $Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb'.
#
#$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'my_pass';
do "passwd_smb.pl";
# [....]
#----------------<cut_here>-------------------------------

filled the conf/passwd_smb.pl like this:

#----------------<cut_here>-------------------------------
# This setting only matters if $Conf{XferMethod} = 'smb'.
#
$Conf{SmbSharePasswd} = 'my_pass';
#----------------<cut_here>------------------------------

then make the backupPC daemon re-read the configuration file.

Unfortunatly, this configuration does not work with backupPC-2.0.0beta0
: the backupPC system is no more abble to backup or restore by the use
of samba.

So I checked and re-check documentation, my configuration, etc. I tried
to start then restart backupPC daemon or do a touch of conf/config.pl
file without better result.

Does someone already use the "do" directive succefully in its
configuration file(s) ?

Does this "do" directive in the MAIN configuration file (conf/config.pl) ?

Regards,

Pierre Bourgin

You need to use a full path with do. The description in the BackupPC
man page isn't correct - I will fix this. Try this instead:

do "/data/BackupPC/conf/passwd_smb.pl";

or whereever your top-level directory is.

Hello,

of course it's working, thanks for this information.

.. I'm confused to forget to try it (full path) before asking for help
