Hello,

I've created the following page for some of my customers providing instructions as to how to use DejaVu to backup files to my server. I thought that the instructions might be useful for some of you (or for sharing with various people you may support). Simply substitute your own server name or IP for all references to NetMusician here:

http://www.netmusician.org/wiki/inde...personal_files

Note that the information on Anacron is not quite right yet. As of Deja Vu 3.1, it looks like we'll need to add the following 3 lines to /etc/anacrontab:

Code:
1 5 DV.daily "/Library/Application Support/Deja Vu/.daily/dejavu_daily.rb" 7 10 DV.weekly "/Library/Application Support/Deja Vu/.weekly/dejavu_weekly.rb" 30 15 DV.monthly "/Library/Application Support/Deja Vu/.monthly/dejavu_monthly.rb"
I decided to wait to see what the author will do about supporting Anacron in 10.4 before modifying these instructions any further. In addition, you'll find that after installing the launchd (Tiger) savvy version of Anacron that Deja Vu no longer recognizes that Anacron is installed. Because of this, you might want to prevent conflicting scheduled tasks by commenting out Deja Vu entries from: /etc/crontab. Again, I'm sure this is something that will be improved/fixed in an update to Deja Vu. If you have no desire to use Anacron though, the instructions I provided at the URL above should work without a hitch!

Hope this helps and is useful to some! Please let me know what you think!
