fantastic rpm for backup! thanks for all your hard work.8)
just a small feature request - examples or enforced formats in the view/modify page. specifically i have been testing testing and suddenly the automated script simply stopped running as scheduled.
found that my problem was i had the time in 12.15 format as opposed to 12:15.
no error in log files on save, just quiet as a quiet thing. may have found the problem quicker by running from command prompt, but. always the little things that throw a spanner in the works!

The two required rpms are in darrells contribs area:
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/
from console i did this:
cd /opt
mkdir dar2
cd dar2
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/dar-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm
wget http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/dmay/smeserver/7.x/smeserver-dar2-0.0.1-3dmay.noarch.rpm
yum localinstall *.rpm
NOTE: the wget lines have wrapped - they are one command each.
i use /opt to hold all my installed extras, i then backup this directory for easy reinstall in case of disaster recovery. your call where you download to.
also i only use the yum localinstall so that i always use yum remove to uninstall (i believe there were no dependancies so rpm -Uvh *.rpm would work just as well).
enjoy, another fantastic addon to an awesome base. much kudos to darrell. 8)

Just download the new version and run [yum install *.rpm] and the sistem will ask you if you want to update.

Just download the new version and run [yum install *.rpm] and the sistem will ask you if you want to update.
Doesn't that have to be yum localinstall *.rpm ?
-
tried it, i've tried
yum install *.rpm
&
yum localinstall *.rpm
&
yum localupdate *.rpm
&
yum update *.rpm
any other suggestions ?
-
kainer you have the latest version.
Examining dar-2.3.2-1.i386.rpm: dar - 2.3.2-1.i386
Notice the same versions?
Examining smeserver-dar2-0.0.1-3dmay.noarch.rpm: smeserver-dar2 - 0.0.1-3dmay.noarch
Same here. (Note the bolded versions. The first is the one you want to install end the second is the one you have on your sistem.)
@skydivers:
I always use yum install and i never had any problems. Localinstall is for installing a rpm that you've downloaded to your sistem. I tend to use install for both installing from repos and my server.

Yes that's possible. You need to use cifs as file system. (as described in the panel of the contrib)

Hey Guys,
Just installed the contrib without a problem.
Just finished a test backup with the default configuration, just using:
Target: //mySMEIP/home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup/files/
User: root
Passw: *******
With this im trying to get a backup onto an ibay named "backup" that has no write protection.
After perform in manual, a "SUCCESS" page apear, but i dont see any file in my folder, not even activity at the box.
I try to get some logs at /var/log/dar2 but nothing in there.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Many Thanks
Seb.-
