Backup Central

Hi ,


How i can take home directories of users from each systems with
single confg.pl .

It is like this :
In my Company User machines are named as their mailid .Mostly linux
machines .

For eg: For sandeep's system hostname will be sandeep and his home
directory will be /home/sandeep. Also I don't want to take backup of
full /home directory.

My requirement is to take backup of home directory of the owner of
each machine .It is possible by using seperate config.pl for each
system.

But i think it would be possible with single config.pl file .

I am using rsync as the transfer method .

I tried $Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/home/$host';
and
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/home/$user'; But no use .

Please help me with the correct config settings .

Thanks a lot for this fantastic tool.


Sandeep.

Sorry, but these configuration settings are not intepolated
(variable substituted). So your only choice is to have
different per-PC config.pl files with the relevant setting
for $Conf{RsyncShareName}.

It would be pretty easy to write a short perl script that
creates each of the config.pl files.

I feel if you can make this facility in the coming versions ,it will
be very much useful .As it facilitate full planning and management
of enterprise backup of desktop systems .

Thanks
