BackupPC working on ReadyNAS 2100
got finally backuppc working on Readynas 2100 ... (and installed in the mean time an extra perl + apache2 with mod_perl) I was also able to get it work on a NV+ ... but that was a bit too slow thi...
By the way ...
I use this backuppc mainly for backing up another ReadyNAS his shares. Not that I had in the past problems with this ReadyNAS his disks, but all disks will fail eventually (from a readynas NV+ 2 of the 4 disks died in the mean time). Furthermore Raid is not a backup strategy, when you change a file and save it ... and you notice that you shouldn't have changed that particular file ... there is no hope without a backup. This backuppc is in my eyes not enough and I have an automatic offsite backup, but that's another story.
configuration for making this work via rsync:
in the readynas that needs to be backed up:
* enable Rsync underneath ‚services’ in the admin interface
* in the share list I have limited the access through rsync to my backuppc host (by entering this ip address) and it is only read access.
in the readyNAS running backuppc -> I’m using the following config to back up the other ReadyNAS
-> XferMethod: rsyncd
-> RsyncShareName: the name of your share without / or \, example: doc_bart
-> I disabled RsyncdAuthRequired
My other use is backing up different users on a mac
I do this with tar over ssh. If there is somebody interested I can write down how this can be done (there will be certainly better and safer methods than the one I use) … but hey it works for me
