I'm out of space on my backup volume as well. I changed the config file to hold less fulls and less incrementals but it won't clean what are my options. This reply below seems to state it won't clean up files until it can do another backup which it can't because the drive is full. -----Original Message-----

Backuppc has a version of rsync embedded, but you can test the setup with the linux command line rsync like: rsync target_host:: The double-colons indicate that the remote is running in standalone daemon mode and omitting a destination makes it give a listing. After you see the module name list you can: rsync target_host::module/ for a directory listing. If those aren't working, you have a problem on the windows side. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 23:10:17 +0100 From: Jean-Michel Beuken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [BackupPC-users] NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello, I have a common config for all PC and particularly, for ShareName $Conf{SmbShareName} = ['SYSTEM$','DATA$','USERS$','E$']; when the share doesn't exist on a client, the remainder of backup fails : 2006-11-29 21:53:44 full backup started for share SYSTEM$ 2006-11-29 22:15:31 full backup started for share DATA$ 2006-11-29 22:15:33 Got fatal error during xfer (tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) 2006-11-29 22:15:38 Backup aborted (tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) 2006-11-29 22:15:39 Saved partial dump 0 nevertheless I put this : $Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} = '0'; the backup fails... is there a parameter or a method to carry on the backup nevertheless a 'NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME' error ? regards jmb ------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Ir Jean-Michel Beuken | University of Louvain-La-Neuve Computer Scientist | CISM, Bat P.

No. If you ask for a share to be backed up, it is considered a fatal error if you can't connect to that share. $Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal} only determines what happens with an otherwise successful backup that has no files. That defaults to on, since it usually means there is some underlying problem (permissions, failed mount etc).

Everything went swimmingly until I tried to look at any logs or view the config files either for clients or the general system, via the CGI interface. Here's what I get from the web server when looking at the LOG file: Global symbol "$LogDir" requires explicit package name at /home/backuppc/lib/BackupPC/CGI/View.pm line 99. Compilation failed in require at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 107. Here's what I get when trying to view a client's config file: Undefined subroutine &BackupPC::CGI::View::action called at /var/www/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin line 109. I traced through the logic and it looks like it should work, at least requiring the View.pm package. I checked the path and dates of all the files, and they were definitely installed a few hours ago. Any ideas?

It may just mean you didn't supply the right password. Try a backup run and look at the log. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Message: 9 Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2006 08:47:02 +0200 From: Alex Schaft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [BackupPC-users] Using mod_auth_pam To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hi, I've successfully configured mod_auth_pam, and can now log on using domain user name and password.

You need to confirm how apache passes such a user name via the REMOTE_USER environment variable. Use the printenv script included in apache's cgi-bin to see. Second, do you use single or double-quotes in defining $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}? With an embedded backslash you will need to use single quotes.
