Topic: Problems installing DAR

[len_chan]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup DAR using these instructions:

http://wiki.contribs.org/Backup_with_dar

On the very first command, I get an error:

yum --enable smetest upgrade e-smith-backup

Error:
Processing Dependency: e-smith-formmagick >= 1.4.0-9 for package: e-smith-backup

So, I tried to update e-smith-formmagick and got this error:
Could not find update match for e-smith-formmagick

Now I'm a bit lost as to what to do next.

Help is much appreciated.

--enable smetest

should be --enablerepo=smetest
and for good measure --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing as well

this will give close to the soon to be released sme7.4
if you don't want to do this, wait
for the updates to be released

snoble,

Thanks for the reply.  I managed to get this working late yesterday, and didn't get around to replying to myself yet...

I did need to go to smeupdates-testing as you have suggested.

- went to smeupdates-testing to find e-smithformmagick
yum --enable smeupdates-testing upgrade e-smith-formmagick

- I think I still had issues, so I installed dar first
yum --enable smetest install dar

- Finally, manually installed e-smith backup. 
rpm -Uvh e-smith-backup-1.15.0-13.el4.sme.noarch.rpm

I'm not 100% sure if all of the above were required, or if I forgot to write down a step... but it seems to work. 

Now I have to find out where in the templates to encrypt the backups...
