I could not understand below properly at http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/security.html
"While this setup should be safe, a more conservative approach is to
run a dedicated Apache as user __BACKUPPCUSER__ on a different port.
Then BackupPC_Admin no longer needs to be setuid, and the cgi
directories can be locked down from normal users. Moreover, this
setup is exactly the one used to support mod_perl, so this provides
both the highest performance and the lowest security risk."
do I need to run another instance of apache on my webserver? I have a webserver running (ubuntu) and I can have a virtual website for backupPC running on a specific port, is that not enough?
as i understand, I do not have to install anything on my win7 PC, other linux servers, VMs etc. to back them up. if not correct pl let me know.
Pl give hints/examples etc. I am planning to use this software to backup the webserver itself and few other machines connected to it -> to a windows network share (dedicated for backup)!
