To CREATE a new host: Files referenced:

   /etc/backuppc/config.pl    main config file
   /etc/backuppc/hosts        hosts file
   /etc/backuppc/pc/HOST.pl   per-pc config file
   /BackupPC                  log files, pid, status

Server side:

• [ ] Add PC name & info to etc/backuppc/hosts file manually (via shell)
• [ ] Create host config file (ex jodie.lt.pl)(in /etc/backuppc/ folder)

    Can copy existing similar one and edit
         PC's should use rsyncd as the XferMethod
         Particulary note username/passowrd/ClientPort, and ShareName
    Confirm permissions, user, and group are correct
  

Client side:

• [ ] Download rsyncd from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/backuppc/files/cygwin-rsyncd/2.6.8_0/cygwin-rsyncd-2.6.8_0.zip/download
• [ ] Extract/Unzip and copy files to a known directory (usually c:\rsyncd)
• [ ] Edit C:\rsyncd\rsyncd.secrets .. be sure to remove default username:password!
• [ ] Ideally, create new 'backup' user on the PC, and allow only that user to have

    permissions to read the rsyncd.secrets file

• [ ] Configure rsyncd.conf
• [ ] Either start rsync.exe manually, or (preferred) run cyrunsrv.exe to install as service
• [ ] Allow configured port (default is 873) through any firewalls.

    Note: Unique static NAT entries will need to be added to the client's firewall, 
    for each client's configured port.
