Please see also BackupPC on FreeNAS - Part 2 and BackupPC on FreeNAS - Part 3 (Issues with Samba)...
As I am a big fan of BackupPC, I'd like to have this piece of software on my FreeNAS-Server. Here is the way how I did the installation.
As I need some help to improve this way how I've done the installation... Please leave me a comment...
BTW: This more than a alpha-stadium for this instructions.
I am using a full installation of FreeNAS 0.7. I like ZFS ;-)

To enable printing with local printer you need to give group cups
r/w access to printer device:
1) Add following to /etc/devfs.rules (create if it doesn't exist):
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
2) And following to /etc/rc.conf:
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
3) Restart devfs: /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
In case your system supoorts "devd" you can copy
$PREFIX/share/exmaples/lpt-cupsd.conf into $PREFIX/etc/devd/
To enable printing under Gimp and MS-Windows clients do the following:
1) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in mime.types
2) Uncomment application/octet-stream line in mime.convs
3) Restart cupsd

NOTICE: This version of port has changed location of Samba password
NOTICE: (smbpasswd) directory. Files in '/usr/local/private'
NOTICE: have moved to '/usr/local/etc/samba'.
===============================================================================
Samba3 *package* now doesn't include ADS support due the portability problems
with Kerberos5 libraries on different installations. You need to compile port
yourself to get this functionality.

Installation of BackupPC
Please see the answers below...
freenas:/mnt/space/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0# mkdir /usr/local/www
freenas:/mnt/space/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0# perl configure.pl
Is this a new installation or upgrade for BackupPC? If this is
an upgrade please tell me the full path of the existing BackupPC
configuration file (eg: /etc/BackupPC/config.pl). Otherwise, just
hit return.
--> Full path to existing main config.pl []?
I found the following locations for these programs:
bzip2 =>
cat => /bin/cat
df => /bin/df
gtar/tar => /usr/bin/tar
gzip => /usr/bin/gzip
hostname => /bin/hostname
nmblookup => /usr/local/bin/nmblookup
par2 =>
perl => /usr/bin/perl
ping => /sbin/ping
rsync => /usr/local/bin/rsync
sendmail =>
smbclient => /usr/local/bin/smbclient
split =>
ssh/ssh2 => /usr/bin/ssh
--> Are these paths correct? [y]?
Please tell me the hostname of the machine that BackupPC will run on.
--> BackupPC will run on host [freenas.harrys.homelinux.net]?
BackupPC should run as a dedicated user with limited privileges. You
need to create a user. This user will need read/write permission on
the main data directory and read/execute permission on the install
directory (these directories will be setup shortly).
The primary group for this user should also be chosen carefully.
The data directories and files will have group read permission,
so group members can access backup files.
--> BackupPC should run as user [backuppc]? root
Please specify an install directory for BackupPC. This is where the
BackupPC scripts, library and documentation will be installed.
--> Install directory (full path) [/usr/local/BackupPC]?
Please specify a data directory for BackupPC. This is where all the
PC backup data is stored. This file system needs to be big enough to
accommodate all the PCs you expect to backup (eg: at least several GB
per machine).
--> Data directory (full path) [/data/BackupPC]? /mnt/datapool/backuppc
BackupPC can compress pool files, providing around a 40% reduction in pool
size (your mileage may vary). Specify the compression level (0 turns
off compression, and 1 to 9 represent good/fastest to best/slowest).
The recommended values are 0 (off) or 3 (reasonable compression and speed).
Increasing the compression level to 5 will use around 20% more cpu time
and give perhaps 2-3% more compression.
--> Compression level [3]?
BackupPC has a powerful CGI perl interface that runs under Apache.
A single executable needs to be installed in a cgi-bin directory.
This executable needs to run as set-uid root, or
it can be run under mod_perl with Apache running as user root.
Leave this path empty if you don't want to install the CGI interface.
--> CGI bin directory (full path) []? /usr/local/www
BackupPC's CGI script needs to display various GIF images that
should be stored where Apache can serve them. They should be
placed somewhere under Apache's DocumentRoot. BackupPC also
needs to know the URL to access these images. Example:
Apache image directory: /usr/local/apache/htdocs/BackupPC
URL for image directory: /BackupPC
The URL for the image directory should start with a slash.
--> Apache image directory (full path) []? /usr/local/www/images
--> URL for image directory (omit http://host; starts with '/') []? /images
Ok, we're about to:
- install the binaries, lib and docs in /usr/local/BackupPC,
- create the data directory /mnt/datapool/backuppc,
- create/update the config.pl file /etc/BackupPC/config.pl,
- optionally install the cgi-bin interface.
--> Do you want to continue? [y]?

Making init.d scripts
Installing docs in /usr/local/BackupPC/doc
Installing config.pl and hosts in /etc/BackupPC
Installing cgi script BackupPC_Admin in /usr/local/www
Ok, it looks like we are finished. There are several more things you
will need to do:
- Browse through the config file, /etc/BackupPC/config.pl,
and make sure all the settings are correct. In particular,
you will need to set $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} so you have
administration privileges in the CGI interface.
- Edit the list of hosts to backup in /etc/BackupPC/hosts.
- Read the documentation in /usr/local/BackupPC/doc/BackupPC.html.
Please pay special attention to the security section.
- Verify that the CGI script BackupPC_Admin runs correctly. You might
need to change the permissions or group ownership of BackupPC_Admin.
If this is an upgrade and you are using mod_perl, you will need
to restart Apache. Otherwise it will have stale code.
- BackupPC should be ready to start. Don't forget to run it
as user root! The installation also contains an
init.d/backuppc script that can be copied to /etc/init.d
so that BackupPC can auto-start on boot. This will also enable
administrative users to start the server from the CGI interface.
See init.d/README.
Enjoy!
It is necessary to change one setting in /var/etc/lighttpd.conf
Save the original file
freenas:/var/etc# cd /var/etc/
freenas:/var/etc# cp lighttpd.conf lighttpd.conf.orig
I have no idea how to make this setting persistent. After a reboot the change is lost...
This is what didn't work... BackupPC works like a charm, but it is not possible to use the web interface after a reboot.
Change this row
cgi.assign = (".php" => "/usr/local/bin/php")
to this
cgi.assign = (".php" => "/usr/local/bin/php",
"/BackupPC_Admin" => "")
Copy the Startup-Scripts to /usr/local/etc/rc.d
freenas:/mnt/space/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0# cp init.d/freebsd-backuppc /usr/local/etc/rc.d/backuppc
Set permissions in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
I don't want that cupsd or samba will be started from here...
freenas:/mnt/space/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0# cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
freenas:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# chmod 644 samba
freenas:/usr/local/etc/rc.d# chmod 644 cupsd
Change a setting in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/backuppc
su backuppc -c '/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d'
in
su root -c '/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC -d'
Add the following to /etc/rc.conf
backuppc_enable="YES"
