I went away from this and now I am back. Stephen, your link returns a "404." Could you check it, please.

And, it has been so long since I installed from a tar.gz file that I have gone brain dead.

I have found most of the perl dependencies and I think I have them covered but, the installation of the backuppc-4.0.0alpha3.tar.gz goes very quickly and I am struggling with what directories hold what . . . would you happen to have any notes from when you did yours that you might like share with all of us? I'd really like to get a Backuppc-4.0.0 machine that will backup my Samba4 member server ACL and xattr file permissions.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Bob,

I'm running 4.0a3 on a couple of Ubuntu 14.04 servers backing up ~100 linux machines. I haven't encountered any big problems other than a bug while trying to restore a directory to a different location, on a different host, via rsync. See <http://sourceforge.net/p/backuppc/mailman/message/34110740/> for details and patch.

I did have to make minor changes to the init.d/debian-backuppc script to make it work on ubuntu 14.04 (checking for/creating the pid dir and setting correct perms). Not yet reported upstream, but I'll send my patch to -devel shortly.

Everything else was really just understanding the differences between v3 and v4.

Hth!

Cheers,
Stephen
