G'afternoon everyone.
I'm having a stupid problem with BackupPC and it's per-pc
configuration. I know I've done it before at another company, but I
don't have access to their stuff any more to see what stupid thing I'm
doing.
This is a nice fresh installation of 3.0.0beta3
These are from my main config.pl
$Conf{TopDir} = '/host/backuppc_data';
$Conf{ConfDir} = '/etc/BackupPC';
$Conf{LogDir} = '/var/log/BackupPC';
$Conf{InstallDir} = '/host/backuppc';
$Conf{CgiDir} = '/host/httpd/htdocs';
$Conf{XferMethod} = "smb";
I'm still trying to get the first (and most important, of course)
site to back up. It's per-pc config is at:
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com/config.pl
which contains:
$Conf{XferMethod} = "rsyncd";
$Conf{RsyncdUserName = "user";
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = "pass";
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['CDrive', 'EDrive'];
When the backup runs, it's still trying to use the default smb, so I
know it's not reading the config.
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient \\\\domain.com\\C\$ -U -E -N -d 1 -c
tarmode\ full -Tc -
full backup started for share C$
[SNIP]
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share C$)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share C$)
I've made symlinks all over the place, trying to get this to work.
The real per-pc config is at
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com/config.pl
I've symlinked:
/host/backuppc_data/pc /host/backuppc/pc
/host/backuppc_etc/pc --> /host/backuppc_data/pc
/host/backuppc/pc --> /host/backuppc_data/pc
/var/lib/backuppc --> /host/backuppc
That last one, in turn makes /var/lib/backuppc/pc/domain.com link to
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com
I can't figure out where these stupid per-pc configs go. I have
about 20 machines to get backed up sometime soon (like, this afternoon
would have been nice, but...) Of course, each one is owned by a
different person, which needs it's own custom config, because none of
them can have the same password as another. Some will use samba, some
rsync, blah, blah, blah.
I know it can be done. I had this working on a site with about 150
servers. I'm at a loss to why it doesn't work this time. Maybe a bug
in 3.0.0beta3, or a change that is escaping me, or complete user
failure?
