Quoting Scott Fortney <scottfortney < at > comcast.net>:
Anyone have any pointers getting Backuppc to start at boot on Slackware 9.1.
Option 1:
My partner and I built a su BackupPC -d line that starts the program
with the correct user - in this case backup [Yes, I know thrillingly
orginal
] about every other time the program bails with the message
that "another BackupPC is running at PID XXX [usually 541 or so]".
Option 2:
We copied the linux-backuppc to the RC.d directory in the /etc
directory. Copied the file as backuppc and made it executable. This
doesn't fly at all! Doesn't seem to even run although the correct user
[backup] is correctly installed in the script.
Now here is the kicker, in either case and with both ver 2.0.2 and 2.1.0
if I login as backup and start the BackupPC -d the thing runs like a
champ! Ashamed to say this is how I backup 10 servers. I would like to
get straight though. As soon as I get one bullet proof I will send it
in to be included with the next release.
