I wanted to report back to you… MANY, MANY thanks for the work you have done! I downloaded and tried it out. Works like a champ! The NSIS software threw me for a bit but finally figured it out. Thank you sir for your efforts. Richard / Now to upgrade to BackupPC 4.x --- Richard Zimmerman IT Manager River Bend Hose Specialty, Inc. 1111 S Main Street South Bend, IN 46601-3337 (574) 233-1133 (574) 280-7284 Fax From: Ray.Frush [mailto:ray.frush AT avagotech DOT com] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2013 12:55 PM To: General list for user discussion, questions and support Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] cygwin-rsyncd outdated No recent version ? As I mentioned earlier, use the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System to build a rsyncd install package for our PCs.
Assumptions: We needed a simple rsyncd service that would install with MINIMAL user interaction. Our install does NOT use SSL keys, but instead relies on a simple rsyncd password (rsyncd.secret).
Acknowledgements: The NSIS config file I used was leveraged heavily from ITeF!x Consulting from the cwRsyncd package they released. The following is based on v2.0.3 See http://www.itefix.no/ for the original authors ongoing work. His current package, while excellent, doesn't lend itself to automated installs.
Disclaimers: Use at your own risk. I had to hack this up to remove my company's specific information, and as delivered won't build a package that works for anyone without some modifications. You must read and understand all of the text files included, especially:
"backuppc_rsync-server.nsi" : The NSIS script "notify.bat" : executed by install package to call 'blat' to send email to our call ticketing system. "rsyncd.conf" : leveraged ITeF!x version, with some changes we found to be good in our environment. "rsyncd.secrets" : will contain your rsyncd password used in $Conf{RsyncdPasswd}
Requirements: To create your own package from scratch you'll need to download and install packages from these sites: NSIS: The install package builder: http://www.blat.net/?docs/license.txt (version 2.46 used) Cygwin: http://cygwin.com (file versions vary. My installation was from April-2012) BLAT: (for Notifications) http://www.blat.net/
I copied the key files from Cygwin and Blat packages into the build tree as follows:
Directory of C:\rsyncd.backuppc backuppc_rsync-server.nsi [bin] blat.dll blat.exe blat.lib cygiconv-2.dll cygpopt-0.dll cygrunsrv.exe cygwin1.dll notify.bat rsync.exe [doc] rsync.html rsyncd.conf.html [etc] fstab license.txt rsyncd.conf rsyncd.secrets
Files I wrote/modifed were: "backuppc_rsync-server.nsi" : The NSIS script "notify.bat" : executed by install package to call 'blat' to send email to our call ticketing system. "rsyncd.conf" : leveraged ITeF!x version, with some changes we found to be good in our environment. "rsyncd.secrets" : will contain your rsyncd password used in $Conf{RsyncdPasswd}
