backuppc-client cookbook

Contrary to the cookbook title, this cookbook does not install any client application. It does however prepare the node in question to be accessible by the BackupPC server and set some sane defaults for backupping the node.

For this cookbook to be of any use, you should first set up a BackupPC server node using the backuppc-server cookbook.

Requirements

Platforms

• Debian-family

Dependencies

• sudo ~> 2.5.2

Attributes

See the default attribute files for configuration variables and their exlanation.

Recipes

Default

After setting the configuration variables, all that is left to do is to include the default recipe:

include_recipe 'backuppc-client::default'

Your BackupPC server will find the nodes depending on this cookbook and use the defined attributes from this cookbook to set-up the backup strategy.

TODO

• add unit and integration tests
• restrict rsync-only command through authorized_keys and custom shell script
