Does the EPEL and COPR installer for backuppc recognize that
backuppc has already been installed and overwrite it? I don't mind
overwriting. I just want to know if the installer covers existing
installs. I've already installed the modified rsync, all the Perl
dependencies, etc. I've run the Perl install script as well,
following along with
Yes, it will work like any other upgrade / package update, it's not a parallel installable package.
It seems most of the stuff is there, though I haven't launched
the app yet. Maybe I'm just missing the inet.d script and who
knows what else. But installing from a complete Fedora or Redhat
repository instead would be much better of course. Should I wipe
any stuff from my installation before venturing into a whole new
install using EPEL and COPR approach?
Yes, probably best to wipe anything you've done manually. The readme in the package has basic instructions on what you'll need to do after package install.
I'm not sure if you mentioned what version you are running but the package should install a SysV init script on EL 6 and the Systemd service file on EL 7.
Thanks,
Richard
