Subject: [BackupPC-users] Config example for backing up linux host, local disk 
drive

Hi.

I have a Linux desktop box with a WD USB 3.0 external drive which I want to use 
for backups.

I was looking through the configuration documentation and while there's a lot 
of it, I thought there would be an example of something trivial but there 
wasn't.

I have the drive locally attached and mounted as /mnt/mybook and the filesystem 
has the top-level directory "backups" in it.

What config variables do I need to set in /etc/BackupPC/config.pl to make local 
backups to a local directory?

Should be trivial, right?  But I couldn't find an example.

Thanks,

-Philip


   I'm assuming your wanting to backup the /var/lib/BackupPC tree to an 
externally mounted disk? 

   In my case, I use rsync -aH to backup my BackupPC servers to encrypted 
external drives. I'd be willing to share the bash script I use for my servers 
if it help...

Regards,

Richard
