I take it then that there is no CLI method
of setting up and running BackupPC ?
Sure there is. All of the configuration is stored in text config
files. There is a main config file for global options and each host has
a config file in it's own directory.
Yes, it was pointed out to me that there are instructions in
<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html>
in Step-7:-Talking-to-BackupPC.
I note that these instructions end by advising the user not to follow them,
but to set up the GUI method.
Incidentally, I've been running BackupPC on my CentOS-7 server
for about a week now, and I notice that no config file is created
in /var/lib/BackupPC/pc/helen, where helen is the host-name.
It seems the GUI method stores the config file somewhere else.
The GUI config editor is just an alternative to hand editing. It uses
the exact same files.
Keep in mind that the config files are stored separately from the
backups. On my system, the backups are under /data/BackupPC and the
config files are under /etc/BackupPC.
