2. Installation

ISiBackup installs like any other debian package, using the package systems with tools like aptitude or apt-get.

As long as isibackup is not part of any distribution, it will be stored on the isibackup home site at http://www.isibackup.org. In case you would like to add a source line to your /etc/apt/sources.list, it would be

   deb http://www.isibackup.org/debian/ unstable/
   deb-src http://www.isibackup.org/debian/ unstable/
  

Please be aware that upon installation, isibackup changes the ownership of all isibackup related files, such as the configuration files below/etc/backup, all of the pre-existing backups main directories below /var/backups/isibackup (next three levels) all of the log files inside /var/log/isibackup to $IDENT_USER_BACKUP:$IDENT_GROUP_BACKUP which defaults to backup:backup. Furthermore, it changes the directory modes to , defaulting to rwxrws--- the file modes to , defaulting to rw-rw----. . Of course, this will not be done if configured differently inside /etc/isibackup/isibackup.conf.
