This file is valid for BackupNetClone version 1.0.0 and Fonz' fun_plug (ffp) version 0.3.


- download cwRsync Server (yes, the server!) from http://www.itefix.no/cwrsync/ (should be something like cwRsync_Server_2.0.10_Installer.zip)
- open the downloaded .zip file and extract its contents (something like cwRsync_Server_2.0.10_Installer.exe) (screenshot of icon)
- run the installer .exe file
- be sure to select the OpenSSH component to install (screenshot)
- optional: changing the destination folder might help remember what the program is used for; for example, install to "C:\Program Files\BackupNetClone cwRsyncServer"
- (no need to remember or write down the service account password--you won't use it explicitly for BackupNetClone)
- remove the installer .exe file if desired
- open the rsyncd.conf file to change what you want to be backed up from this client (screenshot)
- follow the example of the "[test]" section to specify directories that you want the BackupNetClone to backup; be sure to set "read only" to "true"
* (change .sh file comments that talk about what the module name is)
- here's a sample rsyncd.conf file:
   use chroot = false
   strict modes = false
   hosts allow = *
   log file = rsyncd.log
   pid file = rsyncd.pid
   
   # Module definitions
   # Remember cygwin naming conventions : c:\work becomes /cygwin/c/work
   #
   [customer_database]
   path = /cygdrive/c/mysql
   read only = true
   transfer logging = yes
   
   [main_documents]
   path = /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator/My Documents
   read only = true
   transfer logging = yes
- save and close rsyncd.conf
- from the cwRsync Server Start Menu section, open the "Private key for Service Account"
- save the private key somewhere where you'll be able to get it onto the DNS-323
- open the Services list in Windows XP; this can be found most easily by right-clicking on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop, and choosing "Manage" (screenshot)
- in the Computer Management window (screenshot), double-click on "Services and Applications" then double-click on "Services"
- double-click on the "Openssh SSHD" service (screenshot)
- change the "Startup type" from "Manual" to "Automatic" (screenshot); this will ensure the secure tunnel will be available all the time on this backup client
- push the "Start" button to start the service now; or you can restart your computer to start the service
- close the properties window for "Openssh SSHD", and perform the same steps for the service "RsyncServer" (screenshot)
- (note: if you want to have multiple clients behind a firewall, you'll have to copy /etc/ssh_host_* and /var/SvcwRsync/.ssh/* from one machine to all the others; then be sure to run setperms.cmd)

- Congratulations!  You now have the backup client ready to send its data to the backup server


- if your backup client is behind a firewall (compared to the BNC backup server), then you'll need to forward a port through your firewall
- if you have Windows Firewall installed on the backup client, then add port 22 (SSH) to the accepted incoming list
- Control Panel, Windows Firewall, Exceptions, Add Port..., Name "Incoming SSH", Port number "22", OK

- on your router (firewall), you'll have to look up how to forward an incoming port to your specific backup client computer
- first, make sure your computer has a static IP address within your network
- hint: to change the incoming SSH port on a backup client, edit the "sshd_config" file in the cwRsyncServer\etc directory
- here's an example (screenshot) of a Linksys router with port forwarding for 2222 and 2223




- copy private key files to BackupNetClone server
- test SSH connection
