[BackupPC-users] prebackup commands

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:50:53 -0800

I am trying to mount and windows pc on the backup server so I can use tar to back it up.  If I mount the windows pc using the following command it everything works fine.

 

smbmount //10.89.0.6/c /mnt/rjpark -o username=rjpark,uid=backuppc,sid=users,password=douglas1

 

I though it would be nice for backuppc to mount the drive and run the backup, so I made the following modifications to the windows pc’s config.pl (this system is an upgraded 2.1.2 to 3.0.0beta1)

 

Here is the config.pl modifications:

$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;

$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';

$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '$tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner -v -f - -C $shareName+';

$Conf{TarShareName} = [

  '/mnt/rjpark'

];

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';

$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = 'sudo smbmount //10.89.0.6/c /mnt/rjpark -o username=rjpark,uid=backuppc,sid=users,password=douglas1';

$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = 'sudo umount /mnt/rjpark';

 

Here is the error that I get:

Executing DumpPreUserCmd: sudo smbmount //10.89.0.6/c /mnt/rjpark -o username=rjpark,uid=backuppc,sid=users,password=douglas1
Exec of sudo smbmount //10.89.0.6/c /mnt/rjpark -o username=rjpark,uid=backuppc,sid=users,password=douglas1 failed

Executing DumpPostUserCmd: sudo umount /mnt/rjpark

When I switch over to the backuppc user and run the command:

sudo smbmount //10.89.0.6/c /mnt/rjpark -o username=rjpark,uid=backuppc,sid=users,password=douglas1

 It mounts the window pc fine and I can perform a tar backup.

 

Any help would be appreciated

We are currently working on large Novell backup project that is using BackupPC and ncpmount, this project would benefit greatly if BackupPC could mount the volumes and then perform the backup.
