Hi all,

I have previously installed backuppc 3.1.0 from centos 5 testing. The package is now not maintaned by centos anymore.

EPEL have BackupPC version 3.3.0, but yum check-update did not suggest that this package is a replacement for the backuppc package by centos

How do I transition the backuppc centos to BackupPC EPEL?

I'm not planning to perform re-installation, as this machine have a lot of configuration done to arrive at its condition now.

Any idea?

Thanks
