BackupPC

BackupPC is a great backup program for an Ubuntu server. However, it doesn’t work “out of the box” due to Ubuntu’s lack of a root account. The following describes how to make BackupPC work with Ubuntu's sudo implementation. By adding sudo to the TAR commands in /etc/backuppc/config.pl and adding backuppc to the sudoers list, you’re able to perform both backups and restores directly from the web-based interface.

Modify /etc/backuppc/config.pl

• Run “sudo vim /etc/backuppc/config.pl”
• Add sudo to the TAR Client and ClientRestore commands
• Change $Conf{TarClientCmd} and $Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} to read

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = ‘sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName’
. ‘ –totals’;

$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = ‘sudo $tarPath -x -p –numeric-owner –same-owner’
. ‘ -v -f - -C $shareName’;

• Change $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} (these seem to all be temp files that you don’t really need to backup) to read

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = [’/proc’, ‘/dev’, ‘/tmp’, ‘/mnt’, ‘/media’, ‘/sys’, ‘/lost+found’, ‘/usr/src’, ‘/var/lib’, ‘/var/tmp’, ‘/var/cache’, ‘/var/spool’, ‘/var/run’, ‘/var/lock’, ‘/var/games’, ‘/home/*/.Trash’, ‘/home/*/.mozilla/*/*/Cache’, ‘/home/*/.mozilla/*/*/Cache.Trash’];

Add backuppc to the sudoers list

• Run “sudo visudo”
• At the bottom of the file add

# Allow backuppc to run tar without a password
backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
