The boxbackup package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that momebt will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: boxbackup-client/debconf Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Do you want to handle the boxbackup client configuration with debconf? Debconf can create the configuration files for boxbackup client. If you prefer to do this by yourself you will need to use the script bbackupd-config provided by this package. . The server won't start if it isn't configured. . Whatever you choose here, you will need to read the README.Debian file in /usr/share/doc/boxbackup-client. Template: boxbackup-client/backupMode Type: select Choices: lazy, snapshot _Description: Run boxbackup client in lazy or snapshot mode: Boxbackup client supports two modes of backup: . In the lazy mode, the backup daemon will regularly scan your filesystem searching for modified files. It will then upload the files over a specified age to the backup server. . In snapshot mode the backup will be explicitly run at given time set in a cron entry. The cron file is provided with this package, you will have to set the time you wish the backup to occur (/etc/cron.d/boxbackup-client). Template: boxbackup-client/accountNumber Type: string _Description: Account number for this node on the backup server: The administrator of the boxbackup server (perhaps you) should have provided you an account number. It consits in an hexadecimal number. . If you don't already have one, leave that field blank. You will be able to configure it later by running dpkg-reconfigure boxbackup-client as root. Template: boxbackup-client/incorrectAccountNumber Type: note _Description: Please enter an hexadecimal number The account number must be an hexadecimal number (e.g. 1E04 or 4500). Template: boxbackup-client/backupServer Type: string _Description: Full qualified domain name of the backup server: The server name is the computer running an instance of Boxbackup server your client will connect to. It must be the fully qualified domain name of that machine (that can be resolve to an IP address). If you are behind a firewall, you must allow outgoing connexion to tcp port 2201 to be able to reach the server. Template: boxbackup-client/backupDirs Type: string _Description: List of directories to backup: You must tell boxbackup which directories you would like to backup to the remote server. . You must enter this directories as a space separated list of absolute path names. Be careful that those directories do NOT contain other mounted file systems within them at any depth or you will have problems. Template: boxbackup-client/incorrectDirectories Type: note _Description: Please enter correct path names The path names to the directories must be absolute path names separated by spaces. . For example: /home/myaccount /etc/ Template: boxbackup-client/UpdateStoreInterval Type: string Default: 3600 _Description: Interval in seconds between scan of directories: Boxbackup scans the directories you have selected looking for modified files. This scans occurs at regular interval that you can customize. . The default value is 3600s (one hour). Template: boxbackup-client/MinimumFileAge Type: string Default: 21600 _Description: Time to wait after a file modification before uploading it: A file will be uploaded to the server only after a certain time after its last modification. Reducing this value results in often modfied files being uploaded more often to the server. This means that more revisions will be created on the server and therefore the quota limit will be reached faster (thus removing older revisions of the files sooner). . The default value is 21600 seconds (six hours). Template: boxbackup-client/MaxUploadWait Type: string Default: 86400 _Description: Maximum time to wait before uploading a frequently modified file: As a file is not uploaded before a certain time after its last modification, if it is frequently modified, it would never get uploaded. So this parameter defines the maximum time to wait since the first modification noticed before uploading a file. . The default value is 86400 seconds (1 day). Template: boxbackup-client/IncorrectNumber Type: note _Description: Please enter a correct number of seconds This parameter must be a number. Template: boxbackup-client/notifyMail Type: string Default: root _Description: User name or email address to send notification to: Boxbackup client must know the user name or email address of the person who will receive alert notifications. Such notifications are sent when a problem occurs during the backup (the store is full or some files were not readable). . Enter either a user name (e.g. root) or an email address (e.g. admin@mydomain.org) Template: boxbackup-client/generateCertificate Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Generate the client private key and x509 certificate request? The boxbackup client needs a RSA private key and the corresponding x509 certificate to authenticate itself to the server. . Debconf can generate for you the private key and a x509 certificate sign request. You will need to send the certificate request to the administrator of the Boxbackup server and this one will sign it and send it back to you along with the server Certification Authority certificate. You will need to put these files in your boxbackup configuration directory (see /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd.conf file for the exact name to give to these files). . If you prefer to manage this by yourself, say No here.
Template: boxbackup-server/debconf Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Should Debconf handle your boxbackup config? Debconf can create the configuration files for boxbackup server. Select this option if you are familiar with boxbackup's configuration options. If you prefer to do this by yourself you will need to use the scripts raidfile-config and bbstored-config provided by this package. . The server won't start if it isn't configured. . Whatever you choose here, you will need to read the README.Debian file in /usr/share/doc/boxbackup-server. Template: boxbackup-server/raidDirectories Type: string _Description: Location of the RAID directories: You have to choose the location for the 3 RAID file directories. To enable RAID, it must be 3 directories path names separated by spaces and those path names should point to 3 partitions on 3 differents physical hard drives. For example: /raid/0.0 /raid/0.1 /raid/0.2 . If you don't want to enable RAID, just specify the path to one directory where the backups will be stored in (e.g. /usr/local/lib/boxbackup). . If they don't allready exist, these directories will be created for you. Template: boxbackup-server/incorrectDirectories Type: note _Description: Please enter correct path names The path names to the directories must be absolute path names separated by spaces. . For example: /raid/0.0 /raid/0.1 /raid/0.2 Template: boxbackup-server/raidBlockSize Type: string Default: 4096 _Description: Block size for the userland RAID system: BoxBackup uses userland RAID techniques. You have to choose the block size to use for the storage. For maximum efficiency, set it to the block size of the underlying filesystem (see tune2fs -l /dev/... to find your block size). Even if you don't plan to use RAID, you have to set that value. Template: boxbackup-server/generateCertificate Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Generate a the server private key and x509 certificate request? The boxbackup server needs a RSA private key and the corresponding x509 certificate to perform client-server authentication and communication encryption. . Debconf can generate for you the private key and a x509 certificate sign request. You will need to sign the certificate with your root CA (see the boxbackup-utils package) and put this signed certificate and the root CA certificate in your configuration folder. . If you prefer to manage this by yourself, say No here. Template: boxbackup-server/incorrectBlocksize Type: note _Description: Please enter a power of two number The block size must be a power of two number (e.g. 1024 or 4096).
