I followed this tutorial to setup a ubuntu client and stipulated the headless option. The “File Backup Status” column lists “No paths to backup configured”
Within the settings tab on the server I have “Separate settings for this client” is set for the client in question. Additionally “Default Directories to backup” is set to “*”.
What do I need to do to create a complete backup of this machine running ubuntu?
Try setting the default directories to “/”.
You’ll probably also want to exclude some common paths that aren’t really files as such - “/proc;/dev;/sys”. Depending on your needs, “/tmp” is another one you may want to add to the exclude list.
Listing the backups helped to track down an error that didn’t make sense. Apparently I had one path set to “*”. Once I removed that it seems to be working now. If it continues to fail, I’ll check back.
im following the same instructions as you are to get headless up and running but im not sure where youre seeing “stipulated the headless option” i follow the tutorial right to the bottom but
