I am not the op, but backuppc sounded pretty nice, so yesterday I tried to
install it on both my Wheezy and Jessie systems. It didn't work (with
different failures) on either system--I won't give much detail for now, but I'd
just ask a few questions:
* what system (what version of Debian) are you using?
* should I expect that it will properly configure a web server (on the
Wheezy system it talked about apache2, iirc), or must I have a properly
configured web server before installing backuppc?
Some cryptic notes on the failures:
On wheezy, I thought the installation completed successfully--it ran something
it called a script, and, in or after the script it gave me a url to log in to
manage backuppc along with a username and password. When I tried to go to
that URL, using either http or https on either of my browsers, it gave me a
404 error.
On jessie, it apparently did not complete the installation, it told me it
could not run that initial script.
Suggestions?
