I gave backuppc an honest shake -- and I could not figure out the config
files for setting up clients. I can set up ssh pairs fine, but in the
documentation, which decribes a multitude of configurable variables, I
couldn't figure out how to simply do a tar backup of a remote /home
directory, even with the ssh pairs set up.
I'm not a genius, but I did work for a good 45 minutes trying to figure
out how to construct the client.pl file to get the right commands
working. I finally gave up, and I'm running rsync commands in a cron
job again...
Are there example files anywhere other than the local /etc backup
example included?
