Dan, I said I compiled and installed the program but had not done
configuration, implies
I had some exposure to some docs somewhere. If you care to help here is
a reply to a
guy that gave me an off-list reply of sorts, as of yet I have not
received what he spoke about
which might prove to be partially helpful:
"That might be very helpful please forward. All I want is a setup where
I can grab backups
from some machines out in the network (internet) and store the backed up
data on disk (not on tape),
so I don't need all the tape configuration stuff...yet. In the docs it
is not clear to me how to setup
the database, although it says run the scripts there is no example, I
looked in the script it seems to
require a db password, but I don't know which script to run first or how
to proceed based on the docs, perhaps
the guys on this list have had it configured for so long they don't
remember...! "
Be well,
Randy
