Hello,
I have done some tests with the latest eBox version 1.0,
The backup of the configuration is now ok, all the settings, accounts, acl's , refences of the server, and the computer accounts aswell are backupped, and afther a reinstallation of a brand new system the restore works correct now all the settings accounts etc. are restored.
I have used only the configuration backup of eBox, for the backup of the data Webmin was installed, and works correctly for backup and restore of the data ( inclusif the shares and there content and the user file rights ). In Webmin the data backup could be automated.
Installing extra software on an eBox server could be handy:
Install Webmin ( extra tool, and backup/restore utility, not for eBox configuration information use only).
Install gparted ( to handle extra harddrive's ).
Install phpmyadmin ( Mysql database tool )
Install xorg , lxde , gnome terminal, firefox , smb4k ( usefull verry small desktop with webbrowser, terminal windows etc ), anly active by manualy intervenstion on the server ( startx, command ) .
[bSome questions:][/b]
On an eBox version 0.12, is the file " ImportFromLdif.pm " automaticaly replaced with the corected file by the execute of the eBox " Software management " utility system update, or is it always needed to download and replace the file manualy ?
Suggestion,
By eBox install, implement the option to make a choise of the modukes you wich to install, depending on the type of eBox server installation you prefered ( only file and print server, DHCP or withouth DHCP etc . ).
I think that the server is ready for practical use now.
Thanks for the help, for me the backup/restore post could be closed as solved.
Best regards,
Ian
