About

Welcome to smop.co.uk.

My name is Adrian Bridgett and I’m a 30-something Unix guru and open source advocate living in Hampshire, England.

I run my own open source consultancy company called Bitcube Ltd which has a particular emphasis on utilising Puppet to automate system administration. Often people ask “well what do you do?”, I think xkcd has the best answer.

Hi, I found your site via google search on BackupPC yesterday. Lots of nice reference material! :-)
I wanted to ask, I note that you have some hand-built scripts linked off the page about BackUP; and the last one of these .. doesn’t appear to work / as a link / to show the script (regarding pruning of old files).

URL to this is page is,
http://www.smop.co.uk/mediawiki/index.php/BackupPC

and section I’m talking about appears thus,

 [[Media::Backuppc_prune backuppc_prune]] =

I wonder if this is intentional omission, or possibly a typo ?

Certainly I’m interested in this script, if it is available.

Many thanks,

–Tim

Hi

i also reach here by the backuppc and i think your scripts are very useful (THANKS!)

As the official backuppc wiki have a section for scripts, you might want to upload then there… in the mean time i added a link in that page to your blog, so other people can reach to your page

here is the backuppc wiki:
http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/CustomUserScripts

again, thanks for the scripts

Ah thanks for doing that - I’ll upload them and check they’ve got a nice license on them so people can use them :-)
