I compiled it with hfstar. it’s told in the doc that it should work. Didn’t put much time on it, but I will. Just wanted to know if anyone here had impressions, comments on it.
The thing that get me excited about it is full web based administration and it has the same kind of incremental as Retrospect…
Yes, I’m very excited about BackupPC as well. I wish someone would cover setting it up on Mac OS X in detail. What I’m wanting to do is to maintain backups of a linux web server as well as a Mac OS X Tiger Server. Please share if you have success!
The thing that seemed to stump me was getting rsync to tunnel across ssh properly even though I can do that manually it didn’t work right out of the gate so I set it on the shelf for a bit.
Hope to hear some more this soon!
I have BackupPC working using the ‘tar’ backup method (server running on OS X Server 10.4 backing up clients running OS X 10.,4). It was pretty straight forward to set up – I’ve documented how I did it at http://www.staddle.net/dokuwiki/backuppc.
So far it has been working fine. The only thing I have noticed is that the file listings show the ‘hidden’ files that the OS X version of tar uses to save the resource forks, etc which makes the file lists a bit messy.
