I upgraded to Jessie recently and lost my BackupPC setup and my rsyncd

Systemd. None of the documentation mentions anything about systemd

rsyncd.service and put them in /lib/systemd/system directory. No
mention was made of the soft link that had to be put in the proper
/etc/systemd/system subdirectory. Rsync doesn't seem to be working.
Further there is no documentation for setting up BackupPC for systemd.
I am totally awash. Most of the documentation that I have found goes
right over my head. Writers should give their documentation to their
secretary / wife /husband to use and see what happens. (ugly) Is there
any documentation out there that is readable that would give me a road
map for setting up systemd. All suggestions will be sincerely
appreciated.

Thank you both for your replys. The ArchLinux page is really helpful. It
took some tinkering but I finally got rsyncd working and Backuppc is now
behaving it self. With regard to BackupPC's shortcomings; once working,
I shove it into the background and try to not completely forget its
there. I've had to dip into its files occasionally to restore a messed
up / missing file and have found the process easy. Thats all that
counts. I'm not real fond of system level work. I'm trying to get up to
speed with freeCAD as an alternative to my AutoCAD 14 (windoz) package.
I know, its still an alpha package but a very nice alpha package. I'm
also working with python, django, html and java script. I have my hands
full.
Thanks again
