Port notes

There are several more things you will need to do:

- Browse through the config file, ${prefix}/etc/BackupPC/config.pl,
and make sure all the settings are correct. In particular,
you will need to set $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} so you have
administration privileges in the CGI interface.

- Change the $Conf{}

- Edit the list of hosts to backup in ${prefix}/etc/BackupPC/hosts.

- Read the documentation in ${prefix}/share/doc/BackupPC/BackupPC.html.
Please pay special attention to the security section.

- Verify that the CGI script BackupPC_Admin runs correctly. You might
need to change the permissions or group ownership of BackupPC_Admin.
If this is an upgrade and you are using mod_perl, you will need
to restart Apache. Otherwise it will have stale code.

- BackupPC should be ready to start. Don't forget to run it
as user backuppc! The installation also contains an
/Library/LaunchDaemons/net.sourceforge.backuppc.plist launchd
so that BackupPC can auto-start on boot. To enable this daemon
execute the following command:
cd /Library/LaunchDaemons
sudo launchctl load net.sourceforge.backuppc.plist

- The data directory is set to ${prefix}/var/backups. Please ensure
You have enough space for your backups at this location. You may
wish to create a custom mount point point for you backup volume
if necessary.

- To hide the backuppc user in the login window, you may execute

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow

- Please see the ${prefix}/share/BackupPC/extras directory for client
setup scripts, sample apache.conf files, and more.
