Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC to NFS then to tape via DPM

"I'm still curious about how you plan to get it to your DPM."

As am I.

I'm taking a 'one step at a time' approach here.
My network admin hasn't given me the storage share address yet nor do I have permission on the system that is to be backed up.
I've got BackupPC installed, and am waiting until I get the information I need from him before I do configuration.
Meanwhile I suppose getting the rest of the system ready would be a good idea at this point.

From the RPM install it should just come up working with the the usual
'service' and 'chkconfig' operations to activate it, although iptables
and/or SELinux might prevent access. See the comment in
/etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf about adding a web user password. It
should be easy enough to get your data into backuppc at that point.
I'm still curious about how you plan to get it to your DPM.
