I noticed that BackupPC 3.0.0beta1 seems to have a serious bug in
incremental backups - "exclude" options are not respected.
When a full backup is made, BackupPC starts backup with these arguments,
and "Send exclude" is respected - these directories are not transferred:
full backup started for directory /etc (baseline backup #0)
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/backuppc/.ssh/gr2.dsa -q -x -l buser
grhost1 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -v --numeric-ids --perms
--owner --group --devices --links --times --recursive --ignore-times . /etc/
Xfer PIDs are now 27576
Got remote protocol 29
Negotiated protocol version 28
Sent exclude: /backup/*
Sent exclude: /unattended/*
Incremental looks almost the same, it also says which "Sent exclude" it
used:
incr backup started back to 2006-08-28 10:57:40 (backup #1) for
directory /etc
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -i /home/backuppc/.ssh/gr2.dsa -q -x -l buser
grhost1 /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender -v --numeric-ids --perms
--owner --group --devices --links --times --recursive . /etc/
Xfer PIDs are now 30980
Got remote protocol 29
Negotiated protocol version 28
Sent exclude: /backup/*
Sent exclude: /unattended/*
In reality, with incremental backups, "Sent exclude" are ignored, and
BackupPC tries to fetch excluded directories (which I don't want).
Is this bug known, and is there a remedy for it?
With the latest stable version everything worked as expected.
If it matters, I made an upgrade from 2.1.2p1 to 3.0.0beta1.
I have this config for a host:
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 400;
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/bin/rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -i /home/backuppc/.ssh/gr2.dsa -q -x
-l buser $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -i
/home/backuppc/.ssh/gr2.dsa -q -x -l buser $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/etc',
'/home/samba'
];
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'-v',
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'--devices',
'--links',
'--times',
'--recursive',
'--exclude=/linuxbackup/*',
'--exclude=/unattended/*'
];
