As the first attempt failed, the second went just fine.

EPEL repo installed.

Grabbed COPR and placed into /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.

Ran "yum update" and then "yum install backuppc"

Just not sure what to do the start BackupPC running. The mentioned "configure.pl" do not retrieve anything, links to a foreign (to me) language page.

No, you don't need to worry about configure.pl when you're doing a package based install, it's already taken care of...

I envisioned install and then go to http://ipaddress/BackupPC_Admin but, during installation I was never asked to create a web access password.

RPM based installations are never interactive like deb packages. I may rename it but if you look in /usr/share/doc/BackupPC-4.1.0/README.fedora it shows you how to setup the password access for apache.

"Systemctl status backuppc" reports:

systemctl status backuppc
● backuppc.service - BackupPC server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/backuppc.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)

What's next?

It's assumed that if you're setting up a serious backup server that you know the basics of setting up and starting services for your distro. The short version is:

(as root after the above is complete)

# systemctl enable backuppc

# systemctl start backuppc

Thanks,

Richard
