Hello,
BackupPC is a power toll for backing backup of Unix, Linux, WinXX, and MacOSX PCs, desktops and laptops to a server's disk. It's a highly configurable and easy to install and maintain. BackupPC supports different ways for configuring which servers are going to be backed up. If you only have one kind of operating system in the
network you want to backup, or if you just want to use a single protocol/daemon to do this backup, then you should use just the global file.
here is all the necessary information about Backuppc installation and configuration:-
1) The first thing to do is to install the CentOS testing repo in your system.
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget
http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo# yum install yum-priorities
2) Install BackupPC:-
Next, install the BackupPC RPM, Apache, and mod_perl. All the Perl dependencies will be collected automatically.
# yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install backuppc httpd mod_perl.
3) Configure Apache:-
# vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
## Change User apache to User backuppc
#User backuppc
#Group apache
#Servername chetan-training2.testserver.com :80
Then save and exit from this file. After That we need to edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/backuppc.conf file. We are going to allow backuppc service for all inrerface. So edit this entry,
#Allow from all
and save this file.
After that we should create one user and give password wit htpasswd command. like that
#htpasswd -mc /var/lib/backuppc/passwd/htpasswd backuppc.
then we need restart service for http.
# service httpd start
# chkconfig httpd on
BackupPC Server Configuration:-
The initial configuration needs to be edited on the command line with a few parameters and restart the backuppc service. We can access BackupPC via VPS/server's IP address.
http://10.0.0.251/backuppc/ write username and password and enter to the backuppc server.
