The boxbackup Portfile 46112 2009-01-29 20:13:19Z ecronin macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: boxbackup
Version: 0.11rc2
Category: sysutils net
Maintainers: ecronin
Description: completely automatic on-line backup system.
Long Description: The backup daemon, bbackupd, runs on all machines to be backed up. The store server daemon, bbstored runs on a central server. Data is sent to the store server, which stores all data on local filesystems, that is, only on local hard drives. Tape or other archive media is not used. The system is designed to be easy to set up and run, and cheap to use. Once set up, there should be no need for user or administrative intervention, apart from usual system maintenance.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/boxbackup
%  sudo port install boxbackup  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching boxbackup
--->  Verifying checksum for boxbackup
--->  Extracting boxbackup
--->  Configuring boxbackup
--->  Building boxbackup with target all

--->  Staging boxbackup into destroot

--->  Installing boxbackup

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using boxbackup with these commands:

%  man boxbackup
%  apropos boxbackup
%  which boxbackup
%  locate boxbackup
