Getting Started
- If BackupPC is not already set up on your desktop, send Libby an email to arrange a time to set it up. Set up could be anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on what OS you have and if you need Cygwin installed. A restart could be required.
- Stop by Libby's office so she can have you set up your BackupPC password.
- While on the UCSB network (either at your computer, over Remote Desktop, or via VPN), go to http://zippy.geog.ucsb.edu/BackupPC and enter your username and password to access the BackupPC browser console.
- Once you are signed in to the BackupPC browser interface, select your computer from the "Hosts" dropdown menu.
- To find your computer's name in Windows, enter the command "hostname" into a command prompt. On a Mac, use an iTerm to enter the "hostname" command.
Browse Backups
Click "Browse Backups" (located in the sidebar in the left) to view your available backups.
Edit Config
- In the Email section, change the EMailUserDestDomain variable to the domain of your email address. Your username should be the part of your email before the @.
- In the Xfer section, you can adjust what gets backed up (a more fine-tuned Windows exclude list can be found here).
