autofs

AutoFS All Windows clients get mounted through autofs. This allows the backuppc backup task to run with 'tar' or 'rsync', which makes it much easier to manage permissions and file and directory excludes. autofs installation apt-get install autofs Client configuration is done in a sub directory to /etc/backuppc, so keeping the autofs and backuppc configuration files in sync is easy. Point a link in autofs configuration directory to the machine configuration file and restart autofs.

proxy

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2014-12-17T09:02:20+00:00

Forward Proxy I need to access a web server at a different location, but that location's ISP blocks web server access (ports 80, 8080, 443). Establishing a port forward on another port, for example 10080, is only half of the solution, as some devices (e.g. iOS) do not allow HTTP access on ports other than the standard ports.
