Attenzione questo articolo è ancora incompleto. Sentiti libero di contribuire cliccando sul tasto edit.

Configurazione Client

• Installare cygwin con

openssh
rsync
unzip
util-linux
wget
zip

• Impostare Environment Variables

Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Environment Variables, System Variables

• • Aggiungere:

CYGWIN = ntsec

• • Modificare il PATH aggiungendo

;c:\cygwin\bin

• Make sure every Windows user has a password set (System Preference / User Accounts) and Make sure every Windows user has done the following at least once (this will create home directories for every user):

• Configurare ssh come Administrator, aprendo un cygwin terminal in locale:

ssh-host-config

• Rispondere si a tutte le domande, e settare quando richiesto

CYGWIN = ntsec

• • If you get an error message (Windows XP)

>> ERROR: Problem with /var directory. Exiting.

>> Change permissions:

chmod 775 /var

• Start ssh with:

net start sshd

• Synchronize User-Accounts with Cygwin. Login as Administrator, start a Cygwin Shell:

mkpasswd -cl > /etc/passwd
mkgroup --local > /etc/group

• Creare le directory di ssh

ssh localhost

• Disabilitare il firewall

• Test SSH while in Cygwin:

ssh Administrator@$myclient

• Installare i programmi:

wget http://support.rvmgroup.it/download/backuppc-shadow.zip
cd /usr/local/bin
unzip -x ~/backuppc-shadow.zip

• Sistemare le permission

chgrp Administrators /usr/local/bin/*
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/*

• Create a file /etc/rsyncd.conf on your client:

vi /etc/rsyncd.conf

gid = users
read only = true
use chroot = false
transfer logging = false
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
log format = %h %o %f %l %b
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
strict modes = false
[root]
path = /cygdrive/
auth users = Administrator
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secret

• Make sure to replace with the correct values for your setup:

host allow
auth users 

Configurazione Server

• Copiare la chiave di backuppc sul client

sudo -u backuppc ssh-copy-id Administrator@myclient

• Verificare se si accede:

sudo -u backuppc ssh Administrator@myclient

• Creare il file di configurazione del client:

sudoedit /etc/backuppc/myclient.pl
