[BackupPC-users] Documentation lagging behind the GUI
2010-10-20 16:30:29
Hi guys. I'm excited to get backuppc configured but just have a couple n00b
questions that I can't find answered.
While the charm of OSS is that the code is easily accessible, I've found that
most of the documentation steps refer to editing curly bracket objects, which
is great for developers, but not-so-great for everyday administration:
Rsync/Rsyncd Configuration
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '';
Path to rsync executable on the client
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
Full command to run rsync on the client machine. The following
variables are substituted at run-time:
And the GUI actually has a drop-down list for choosing the type of backup:
Is there another version of the docs somewhere that is updated to walk a new
user through the config based on options available in the GUI?
Second question: why are there separate choices for rsync and rsyncd? Is the
second option running the rsync demean on the client instead of the server?
Thanks!
