I look forward to your test reports Phil.
Here are a few tips. Once you configure a backup job there are three ways to launch it. Automated via scheduled cron job, manual via the Backup panel or direct from the command line.
The output of automated jobs is e-mailed to admin. So the typical overnight backup will be e-mailed.
Manual jobs executed from the panel send output to /var/log/messages. Use the 'View log file' panel to monitor the job progress.
Command line you simply issue:
/etc/e-smith/events/actions/dar2-backup job
Replace job with your configured jobname. Output is direct to console.
For restores, best to use the panel only. It is possible to execute from the command line but you need to fully understand and populate restore.job db entries.
