Please follow these steps to install your backup client, if you have any questions email jguerra@cs.fiu.edu.

====== Instructions ======


1. To install the backup client in your machine you will need boxbackup-0.11rc2 you can download it from the website (http://www.boxbackup.org/) or install it using a package manager, but please make sure to install version 0.11rc2.

2. Once installed run:

    bbackupd-config /etc/boxbackup lazy <account> elephant.cs.fiu.edu /var/run/bbackupd <dir_1> <dir_2> ... <dir_n>

where:
  * <account> is your account number (see begin of email).
  * <dir_i> are the directories to be backed up (typical /home/username)

3. The previos command will generate a file /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/<account>-csr.pem that you need to send me to digitally sign (or do it yourself by login to elephant following the instructions on http://www.boxbackup.org/accounts.html).  To generate sign the certificates run under the /etc/box/bbstored/certs/ directory:

    pfexec /usr/local/bin/bbstored-certs ca sign <account>-csr.pem

I will send you back two files:

  * <account>-cert.pem
  * serverCA.pem

Copy them to the /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd dir.

4. Adjust the /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd.conf file to your needs (e.g. probably you may want to exclude some unnecessary files or dirs).

5. In /etc/boxbackup/bbackupd/NotifySysadmin.sh, modify the person it sends the email in case of problems to:

SENDTO="jguerra@cs.fiu.edu"

Or whoever you want the email to be send to.

6. Start (as root) the client daemon bbackupd. In ubuntu there is a daemon that does this.
