Getting Started

  • 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).
