Following are the packages to be installed
install httpd
start httpd
via CPAN insaql the following per file
perl-MCPN -e shell
install Compress::Zlib
install Archive::Zip
File::RsyncP
Install the following packages
yum install perl-suidperl
Now we add a user for the backupPC with its group being apache
useradd -g apache backuppc
Now we download the backupPC source file
cd /usr/local/src
wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0.tar.gz
tar -xzvf BackupPC-3.1.0.tar.gz
cd BackupPC-3.1.0
make Makefile.pl
this will be the location of the config file -----------> /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
this will be the locatino where we add host( clients to be backed up ) ---------> /etc/BackupPC/hosts
ths is the location where the bin doc lib files are ---------> /usr/local/BackupPC]
this is the location where the data will be abcked up -----------> /home/backuppc
this is the location of your cCGI bin directory -----------------> /var/bin/cgi-bin
this the location of the image /var/www/html/backuppc
same --------------------------------------> /backuppc
now we will copy the init scritp to the right location
cp /usr/local/src/BackupPC-3.1.0/init.d/linux-backuppc /etc/rc.d/init.d/backuppc
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/backuppc
(A) Now backing up frm Linux clinet to linux BackupPC
Passwordless login frm linux clinet and from Linux BackupPC server
1. on the Linux BackupPC server
su - backuppc
ssh-keygen -t rsa -------------> this will generate the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub keys in /home/backuppc/.ssh/
once that is done we scp the id_rsa.pb key to the Linux client machine
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
root@linuxclinetIP:/tmp
now we log into the linux clinte Pc and copy the /tmp/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cp /tmp/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
now on the Linux BackupPC server ( su - backuppc ) try to login in ( ssh root@linuxclinet ) , it should log you in without a password
You can append as many public keys
2. On the Linux clinet PC
ssh-keygen -t rsa -------------> this will generate the id_rsa and id_rsa.pub keys in /root/.ssh/
once that is done we scp the id_rsa.pb key to the Linux BackupPC server
now we log into the linux BackupPC server and log in a backuppc user and copy the /tmp/id_rsa.pub to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
cp /tmp/id_rsa.pub ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
now on the Linux client PC try to login in ( ssh
backuppc@linuxBackupPC IP ) , it should log you in woithout a password
Now, so that we want security to access the cgi script we careate htaccess password file
htpasswd -c /etc/BackupPC/htpasswd client1 ( unix system user ) ---------> enter the password as prompted
now we will add our clinet to the host file located in /etc/BackupPC/hosts
#
host dhcp user moreUsers # <--- do not edit this line
#farside 0 craig jill,jeff # <--- example static IP host entry
#larson 1 bill # <--- example DHCP host entry
192.168.0.244 0 linuxclient1 # <--- where only linuxclinet1 user can acces this system back up frm webinterfce
192.168.0.209 0 backuppc # <--- where only backuppc user can acces this system back up frm webinterfce
we will create/edit a congif file in /etc/BackupPC/pc/linuxclientPCIP.pl
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $hostIP $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l root $hostIP $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/home','/var/log'];
now we will edit he httpd.conf so that only the prticulat user assigned to the particular clinet gets access to the cgi script
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
# AllowOverride None
# Options None
# Order allow,deny
# Allow from all
Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AuthGroupFile /etc/backuppc/htgroup
AuthUserFile /etc/backuppc/htpasswd
AuthType basic
AuthName "backuppc"
require valid-user
</Directory>
now we restart httpd and backuppc
/etc/init.d/httd restart
/etc/init.d/backuppc restart
now we will try to take a back up of the of the Linux clinet Pc
add the user name and password .... this should gvive u access to the particular clinet
(B) Now backing up frm Windows clinet to linux BackupPC
we unzip it in C:/rsyncd/
we edit the rsyncd.conf file
use chroot = false
max connections = 4
pid file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.pid
lock file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.lock
#this is frm where all your data will be backed up.
[cDrive0]
path = c:/rsyncd
comment = agnello's documents
auth users = agnello
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
# hosts allow = 172.16.0.17
strict modes = false
read only = false
list = false
[cDrive1]
path = c:/var
comment = agnello's documents
auth users = agnello
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
# hosts allow = 172.16.0.17
strict modes = false
read only = false
list = false
[cDrive2]
path = c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/My Music
comment = agnello's documents
auth users = agnello
secrets file = c:/rsyncd/rsyncd.secrets
# hosts allow = 172.16.0.17
strict modes = false
read only = false
list = false
Now save the file and run the service.bat file make sure that your windows PC has not blocked 873
Now edit the rsync.secret add the following lines
agnello:agnello123
now on the Linux BackuPC server
we create a config file for the windows client
eg : vi /etc/BackupPC/pc/windowsclentip.pl
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'agnello';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'agnello123';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['cDrive0','cDrive1','cDrive2'];
$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252'
maker sure that the user and password is tha same as rsync.secret file
now we will add our windows clinet to the host file located in /etc/BackupPC/hosts on the lINUX bACKUPpc SERVER
#
host dhcp user moreUsers # <--- do not edit this line
#farside 0 craig jill,jeff # <--- example static IP host entry
#larson 1 bill # <--- example DHCP host entry
192.168.0.244 0 linuxclient1 # <--- where only linuxclinet1 user can acces this system back up frm webinterfce
192.168.0.209 0 winclient1 # <--- where only backuppc user can acces this system back up frm webinterfce
now we restart backuppc
/etc/init.d/backuppc restart
now try browser in the the http://linuxBackupPCserverIP/cgi-bin/backupc
add the user name and password .... this should gvive u access to the particular clinet ( ref /etc/BackupPC/hosts file )
Now take your regular backups
