I upgraded two backuppc servers (both ubuntu 14.04) so far with:
1) cpan install BackupPC::XS
2) manual install of rsync-bpc (./configure --prefix=/opt/pkg/rsync-
bpc-<version>; make; make install
3) then just ran the backuppc configure script (and mention the path for
rsync-bpc)
It "just worked", except the ubuntu init script has:
grep -q IncrLevel $CONF || BAD=1
Which triggers (for those googleing the error):
BackupPC cannot be started because important parameters are missing from
config.pl. If you just upgraded BackupPC, please update /etc/backuppc
/config.pl
Took me awhile to find because it's not in dmesg, syslog, or stdout/stderr for
the daemon.
I added to the config.pl:
'IncrLevel' => '1',
Started up. Seems happy, did a test restore, and am now doing a migrate to see
how that impacts performance, pool size, and number of inodes.
On a 2.7TB pool so far it's around 30% more inodes and 1% more space, but it's
only processes less than half the hosts. I'm also rather curious about the time
to backup for 3.x vs 4.x.
