119    C<BackupPC_xls_report> to generate Excel reports from your backup data.
120    
121    Easiest way to install them is using C<cpan> shell.
122

129    
130    $ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb  First, edit C<config.pl> and setup C<SearchDSN> to valid perl DSN (for example,
131    C<dbi:Pg:dbname=backuppc> and C<SearchUser> to database user which has priviledges
132    over that database. You might need to add additional directives in PostgreSQL's
133    C<pg_hba.conf> so that selected user can be connected without password (I know, it's not
134    perfect, but I trust local users on backuppc machine).
135    
136    Then, create new database for backuppc.
137    
138      $ createdb backuppc
139    
140    Then invoke C<BackupPC_updatedb> for the first time with argument to create database
141    schema:

143  You can also force full-text reindex by C<-i> flag.    $ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb -c

145  B<Documentation is incomplete>.  You can also force full-text reindex by C<-i> flag. This will add all files which are in
146    database but for some reason are missing in full-text index.
147    
148    Now, you can setup cron job which will daily check your backups and update database
149    and full-text index. This is as simple as invoking
150    
151      /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb
152    
153    As C<backuppc> user and redirecting output to log file.

160    =head1 Reporting in Excel
161    
162    Often, it is useful to be able to present report about your BackupPC hosts, number
163    of snapshots, total size and other useful info. While all those information can
164    be accessed using web browser, for analysis it's useful to have them in spreadsheet
165    form. With this data, you can monitor changes on your backup cycle, effects of changes
166    on your server or network to your BackupPC installation and so on.
167    
168    You can create Excel spreadsheet (which works perfectly with Gnumeric also) using
169    following command:
170    
171      $ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_xls_report

175    You will also need several other command-line utilities to make
