Re: [BackupPC-users] Host groups

(Damn, I thought I had posted it to the list, but I can't find it)
I was thinking about setting up something like this by editing the config.cf. I was more concerned with dividing by distribution, but I guess you could do it by function. What I was thinking of doing is setting a variable that contains the directories to back up, for instance,
$Dirs{Debian} = [ '/var/backups', '/var/cache/apt', '/var/lib/apt', '/var/lib/dpkg' ];
Then in the individual files, referring to $Dirs{Debian} within $Conf{RsyncShareName} for each host. You could easily set up something like $Dirs{WebServer} or $Dirs{DbServer} or $Dirs{WorkStation} or whatever. (Forgive any syntax errors which may have crept in, my perl-foo sucks.
In any case, I was told that something like this should work.

new=old syntax when you add a new host through the web interface. Unfortunately
it doesn't help if you want to change a setting across a group of machines later.
