Backup Central

Help!!!

An upgrade to Ubuntu killed the system and I'm having to reinstall. All the Backuppc data was on a secondary raid drive and is fine. It has not been changed. I also copied all the main drive over to a temp drive until I rebuilt the new system.

What's next? I assume I just reinstall Backuppc like I did the first time and make that link thing to the other drive like I did the first time.

1. Is that right (please ignore my lack of terminology)?
2. I have all the config file in the /etc directory can I just copy them over to the new install of Backuppc (in its config directories)?
3. What about all the SSH Rsync stuff. It was working great. Can I copy that over to the new install?

Any pointers would be appreciated!


Thanks!

Yes to all counts.

I generally mount my backuppc drives as /var/lib/backuppc. Then I have a
cron job copy /etc/backuppc in there just in case I lose the root
filesystem. SSH keys live in /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh.
