BackupPC - restoring backups from command line

From WPKG | Open Source Software Deployment and Distribution

Jump to: navigation, search

This simple script makes tar.gz packages for hosts you have in your BackupPC archive.

You can later write these packages to tape, or copy them somewhere else.


Note that you have to set up an "archive host", as described in BackupPC documentation.

Change the variables and other details to suit your needs.
