Hi Craig,
I’m having issues with the website to upload my question, so I apologize for
the direct email. Maybe I have the wrong URL maybe?
My question is, how do I backup a Windows server through BackupPC? I have a
share that I would like to backup. I’m using BackupPC on Ubuntu, I’ve never
backed up a Windows server before. Is the task as simple as backing up a Linux
server? Do I still use rsync or smb? I’m not sure how I would get the ssh key
over the Windows server.
Thanks,
Marc

Hi Craig,
I've resolved the email message.
However, I'm still having issues with one of the hosts taking far longer than
I'd hope for to complete its first full backup. I've restarted BackupPC as you
mentioned, and I've just started a full backup on the host. Straight away, it's
been put into the queue. I am using BackupPC to backup 3 hosts, 2 of them are
backing up perfectly, no issues whatsoever, however, there's one host that
can't even complete its first full backup. I've included screenshots.
[cid:5c110e27-2d53-406a-9ade-bf2c8e5030dc]
[cid:78588b8e-6ac7-4a97-9c8f-315707d63e40]
[cid:6c1230a5-44bb-42df-81d9-570ff38cd0fb]
Could this be down to the network possible?
I would just like your opinion/advice on how I can get this server to complete
its first full backup.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Marc

Marc,
Ok; if you wait until the next wakeup, the old status should be removed.
Similarly if you restart BackupPC.

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
I changed the hosts name by changing the /etc/backuppc/hosts file.
And then changing it in the backuppc folder via mv old_host new_host.
Looking forward to your response.
Regards,
Marc

Eduardo,
What did you do when you said "rename the host"? Did you manually edit the
hosts file, and mv /TOPDIR/pc/HOST_OLD to /TOPDIR/pc/HOST_NEW?
BackupPC should remove the old status when it next reads the hosts file. It
does that on startup, on each wakeup if the mtime has changed, when it receives
a HUP signal, or when it receives a "server reload" command. So it's possible
you noticed the stuck error before any of those events happened.

Hi,
I think I found a small bug...
How to reproduce:
-add a host
-try to make a backup and fail for soem reason (in my case was ssh privileges)
-rename the host
The error stays and wont go away until you create a host with the original name
and then delete the host. I received warning mails until I did this.
I am running 3.3, I don't know if it was fixed in 4.x as I had not needed to
upgrade yet.
thanks.
