=head1 Creation of initial data |
Last module, C<Spreadsheet::WriteExcel> is needed only if you want to use |
125 |
|
C<BackupPC_xls_report> to generate Excel reports from your backup data. |
126 |
|
|
127 |
|
Easiest way to install them is using C<cpan> shell. |
128 |
|
|

|
$ sudo cpan File::Pid Spreadsheet::WriteExcel |

about increments in RDBMS and full-text search engine index. |
135 |
|
|
136 |
$ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb |
First, edit C<config.pl> and setup C<SearchDSN> to valid perl DSN (for example, |
137 |
|
C<dbi:Pg:dbname=backuppc> and C<SearchUser> to database user which has priviledges |
138 |
|
over that database. You might need to add additional directives in PostgreSQL's |
139 |
|
C<pg_hba.conf> so that selected user can be connected without password (I know, it's not |
140 |
|
perfect, but I trust local users on backuppc machine). |
141 |
|
|
142 |
|
Then, create new database for backuppc. |
143 |
|
|
144 |
|
$ createdb backuppc |
145 |
|
|
146 |
|
Then invoke C<BackupPC_updatedb> for the first time with argument to create database |
147 |
|
schema: |
148 |
|
|
149 |
|
$ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb -c |
150 |
|
|

152 |
|
database but for some reason are missing in full-text index. |
153 |
|
|
154 |
B<Documentation is incomplete>. |
Now, you can setup cron job which will daily check your backups and update database |
155 |
|
and full-text index. This is as simple as invoking |
156 |
|
|
157 |
|
/data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_updatedb |
158 |
|
|
159 |
|

=head1 Reporting in Excel |
167 |
|
|
168 |
|
Often, it is useful to be able to present report about your BackupPC hosts, number |
169 |
|
of snapshots, total size and other useful info. While all those information can |
170 |
|
be accessed using web browser, for analysis it's useful to have them in spreadsheet |
171 |
|
form. With this data, you can monitor changes on your backup cycle, effects of changes |
172 |
|
on your server or network to your BackupPC installation and so on. |
173 |
|
|
174 |
|
You can create Excel spreadsheet (which works perfectly with Gnumeric also) using |
175 |
|
following command: |
176 |
|
|
177 |
|
$ sudo -u backuppc /data/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_xls_report |
178 |
|
|

|
=head1 Additional requirements |
180 |

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

If you are running Debian stable and expiriencing error message like |
205 |
|
|
206 |
|
-: No such file or directory |
207 |
|
|
208 |
|
your C<md5sum> comes from C<coreutils> (which doesn't know how to handle C<-> |
209 |
|
as input) as opposed to C<md5sum> which comes with C<textutils> (which does). |
210 |
|
|
211 |
|
Fix is simple, correct md5sum is allready installed, you just have to do: |
212 |
|
|
213 |
|
sudo cp /usr/bin/md5sum.textutils /usr/bin/md5sum |
