BackupPC Module

This module will install and configure a BackupPC server and allow you to add other puppet managed nodes as clients/hosts. It uses exported resources to create the client's configuration file

Usage

Minimal server configuration

class { 'backuppc': }

This will do the typical install, configure and service management. The module manage does NOT manage apache by default service that something has changed. Alternatively you can install backuppc as a virtual host or whatever else suits your needs.

An htaccess will be put in place, update it according to your needs

More server configuration

class { 'backuppc':
  wakeup_schedule   => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 21, 22, 23],
  max_backups       => 3,
  max_user_backups  => 1,
}
