Yes, not only that but if you have identical or near-clone systems you
can copy the setup by adding them in the web interface with the syntax
newname=oldname instead of just the new name.

Re: [BackupPC-users] File not present in backup

2017-09-19 Thread Jenkins, Wade William

I’ve not seen this behavior persist—that I know of--but I’m still concerned 
about the fact that it happened.  Does anyone have further thoughts?

Rsync, runs as root, all backups were completed at the time of attempted 
recovery.

I’ve looked through the logs regarding one of the cases and found that the 
directory does not appear in the backup log on the day of the attempted 
restore, nor the day before.  It is, however, in the backup log from two days 
before.

Thanks for your help,
Wade

Wade,

What XferMethod are you using?  Does the backup run as root, or as a 
non-privileged user?  Did the 11:00 backup finish before 15:00?

If you look in the XferLOG file, do you see that the file was backed up?  
Similarly for the directory?

I’m currently standing up a backuppc 4 server, and have a backuppc 3 server

I have had two instances recently where a user deleted a file at, say 15:00 on 
Tuesday, but when I tried to restore it from a backup than ran at 11:00 on the 
same Tuesday, the file was not there, nor in the 11:00 backup from Monday.  I’m 
currently between backuppcs, so I go look at my BackupPC3 server, and it has 
the file from a 12:00 backup on Tuesday.  Is there a reason that a deleted file 
would not be present in a backup taken *before* it was deleted.
In one case (which I’ve misplaced the screen shot of, unfortunately), I had a 
user come in having just deleted the wrong directory.  I pulled up his files in 
the backup, but there was no copy of that directory, which he had created one 
week prior (~5 days worth of backups caught this directory).  In the history 
view, there was a row for the directory that was entirely red, without a single 
version of the directory or its files.  BackupPC knew about the directory, but 
couldn’t give me a copy of it.

I’m concerned about restores in the future, if BackupPC4 doesn’t actually list 
all the files in a given backup.  Can anyone help me understand what’s going on?

Thanks for your help,
Wade

Les,

Thanks!  I didn't realize you could edit the individual configs from the web
interface.  The syntax was wrong and it is working now.   The following is
what works.  The RsyncShareName needed [ ]

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 8;
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  'c-drive'
];

I mean the configuration editor for the host:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/BackupPC-4.1.1.html#Configuration-and-Host-Editor

It should parse things the same way as the running system.

This is what I am seeing from the web interface.

Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 9/19 09:28.
Last error is "Unknown module '/'".
Pings to l-jwest17b.corpnet.com have succeeded 50 consecutive times.

I wonder why it would not parse the sharename correctly.  I believe the
syntax is correct.

What do you see if you look at it in the web configuration interface
for that host?   If it is still trying to access '/' it is not parsing
your sharename the way you expect.

Yes, the latest cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1 is only 64 bit.

In addition to trying deltacopy, you could try removing the --protect-args

I am using a pl config file just for my host which has the following in it
now.

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$conf{RsyncShareName} = 'c-drive';
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = '8';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'backup';

I created a user / pass combination to see if that would help, but it
didn't.  I also changed the RsyncShareName to see if that would help, but it
didn't.

Something is wrong in your config.  Backuppc thinks you have
$conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';   (the default).
Are you using the web interface to make and view the config changes for this
host?

A brute-force approach to debugging would be to start an strace on the
rsyncd client soon after the backup starts and after it hangs try to
figure out the failing operation and hope you have enough scroll back
buffer to find where the relevant file descriptor was opened so you
know what it was.

Maybe BPC is unable to manage some kind of files that plain rsync is
able to handle ?

If your client rsyncd is configured to write a log file you should be
able to see the invocation there.   Just guessing, I'd say there is
probably something wrong in your excludes and you are wandering into
the /sys, /proc, or /dev directories and hanging when you access the
contents.

That would be ... rsyncd.  Note that it's separate and distinct from

Gandalf-

Hopefully, someone with more rsyncd experience can step in and help.   I
haven't used the rsyncd method for 3-4 years, and don't have any current
examples to help you with.

Good luck!

rsyncd is running on all servers, as i'm able to backup them properly
with plain rsync or rsnapshot.
Only BPC is freezing.

I don't use SSH at all, i'm directly connecting to rsyncd via rsync.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackuPC 4 hang during transfer

2017-09-19 Thread Ray Frush

Gandalf-

It looks like you're using the "rsyncd" method vs "rsync" is that correct?
  I don't have experience using the 'rsyncd' method, so my ability to
continue troubleshooting ends here.  The main thing that jumps out at me is
to check that rsyncd is actually running on your clients, and that you can
connect from the backuppc server using the command you found above.


I use the 'rsync' method, and the rest of my answer below is predicated on
that scheme:

I kicked off a backup and did a 'ps -elf | grep backuppc' to get these from
the BackupPC server:

1) the BackupPC_dump command

backuppc  9603  3682  0 09:05 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -i isast201

2) the local rsync_bpc instanc:

backuppc  9606  9603  8 09:05 ?00:00:03 /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc
--bpc-top-dir /mnt/backups/BackupPC --bpc-host-name isast201
--bpc-share-name / --bpc-bkup-num 118 --bpc-bkup-comp 3 --bpc-bkup-prevnum
117 --bpc-bkup-prevcomp 3 --bpc-bkup-inode0 203221 --bpc-attrib-new
--bpc-log-level 1 -e /usr/bin/ssh -l root --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
--super --recursive --protect-args --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--times --links --hard-links --delete --partial --log-format=log: %o %i %B
%8U,%8G %9l %f%L --stats --iconv=utf8,UTF-8 --timeout=72000 --exclude=stuff
isast201:/ /

3) the ssh command initiated by rsync_bpc to the client to initiate the
server:  THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ONE to test next:

backuppc  9607  9606  1 09:05 ?00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh -l root
isast201 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -slHogDtpre.iLsf --iconv=UTF-8

4) The active portion of process 9606 above:

backuppc  9608  9606  0 09:05 ?00:00:00 /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc
--bpc-top-dir /mnt/backups/BackupPC --bpc-host-name isast201
--bpc-share-name / --bpc-bkup-num 118 --bpc-bkup-comp 3 --bpc-bkup-prevnum
117 --bpc-bkup-prevcomp 3 --bpc-bkup-inode0 203221 --bpc-attrib-new
--bpc-log-level 1 -e /usr/bin/ssh -l root --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync
--super --recursive --protect-args --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--times --links --hard-links --delete --partial --log-format=log: %o %i %B
%8U,%8G %9l %f%L --stats --iconv=utf8,UTF-8 --timeout=72000 --exclude=stuff
isast201:/ /


In my example, I have setup ssh keys to allow the BackupPC user to access
the clients.

Something is wrong in your config.  Backuppc thinks you have
$conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';   (the default).
Are you using the web interface to make and view the config changes
for this host?

I can't get rsync command from the client system, as "ps aux" doesn't
show the command invocation by the server.
BackupPC is running the following:

standard rsync works.
rsnapshot works too (i'm using rsnapshot to backup this host, as BPC freeze)

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackuPC 4 hang during transfer

2017-09-19 Thread Ray Frush

Gandalf-

As a troubleshooting step, collect the actual running rsync commands from
the client system, and from the BackupPC server (found in the Xferlog).
Post them here to get a wider audience.

Try running an rsync manually  using the same parameters, and see if it
works.  My guess is not, and there is a misconfiguration that will leap out
at you as you work through this.

I had to do the same thing when I was doing an initial install.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up Windows using rsync

2017-09-19 Thread Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users

Changing the method to rsyncd made some progress.  It now connects on port
873.  I am now getting this error



A command for l-jwest17b.corpnet.com is on the command queue (will run
soon).

Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 9/19 08:56.

Last error is "Unknown module '/'".

Pings to l-jwest17b.corpnet.com have succeeded 43 consecutive times



My config is now



[root@backuppc pc]# vi l-jwest17b.corpnet.com.pl

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;

$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';

$conf{RsyncShareName} = 'C';

$Conf{FullAgeMax} = '8';

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = 'backuppc $host $rsyncPath $argList+';

$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';

If you are running a standalone rsync daemon on the target system, use
rsyncd as the xfermethod instead of rsync.

And the sharename(s) should match the 'modules' you configured in your
rsyncd.conf.

Yes,



I am looking for a way that is does not connect on port 22, but instead
connects to port 873 and just uses rsync to do the transfer.  My machine
has rsync running and listening on port 873

Are you looking for an answer other than “use rsyncd?”

Re: [BackupPC-users] RefCntFsck

If a backup fails or is aborted, BackupPC_refCntUpdate is run on the last
two backups, independent of the $Conf{RefCntFsck} setting.

refCnt is also run on backup #1 (that in my case is the incremental
that i've aborted).

is this correct ? I had a similiar issue with the alpha version, where
an fsck was always executed, but AFAIK this bug was fixed when BPC 4
was released as stable.

[BackupPC-users] RefCntFsck

2017-09-19 Thread Gandalf Corvotempesta

Can someone explain me the meaning of $Conf{RefCntFsck} = 1; ?

If I understood properly, based on docs, $Conf{RefCntFsck} = 1 will
run a refCnt process if the latest backup is full.

In my case, I have a single full backup and i've aborted an
incremental one, then refCnt is run on the full backup.

Why? I've aborted an incremental, refCnt was already executed on the
full backup when I did that some days ago. Why BPC is still running
refCnt ?

Still getting the same issue.
Backup for a couple of host are impossible, bpc hangs (at different
progresses) and doesn't continue anymore.

No load on backup server and on source server. Simply, bpc doesn't transfer.
