Hello, I am running backuppc 2.1.1 on debian. I have a rsync server running on a Windows XP machine (cwRsync). The two machines are connected via a VPN (L2TP over IPSEC).
I can use rsync directly with no problems. The transfer takes about four minutes. But when backuppc runs, the transfer freezes up after what looks like the last file is transfered. After two hours of inactivity have passed, backuppc gives up and closes the connection as well as not leaving even a partial backup. A significant difference I noticed between the two cases is that the rsyncd log when calling rsync directly says "rsync on test", but when using backuppc says "rsync on ." Test is the correct name of the rsyncd share. The only change I made to config.pl concerning rsync is to add --compress as an rsync option. Any help solving this problem is appreciated. Log/config file outputs are below. Here is the rsyncd log from a straight rsync backup running the command 'rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --compress rsync://aims-03/test ~/temp/' 2006/12/12 16:08:02 [1276] 192.168.114.1 is not a known address for "AURORA": spoofed address? 2006/12/12 16:08:02 [1276] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.114.1) 2006/12/12 16:08:09 [1276] rsync on test from unknown (192.168.114.1) 2006/12/12 16:08:09 [1276] building file list 2006/12/12 16:08:10 [1276] send unknown [192.168.114.1] test () downloads/Production Protocol Nov-15-06.mpp 140288 ...remove 1543 lines... 2006/12/12 16:11:51 [1276] send unknown [192.168.114.1] test () twiki/tools/upgrade_emails.pl 1768 2006/12/12 16:11:52 [1276] sent 14518417 bytes received 34386 bytes total size 23073568 Here is the rsyncd log when backuppc attempts to perform a backup: 2006/12/12 13:59:59 [944] 192.168.114.1 is not a known address for "AURORA": spoofed address? 2006/12/12 13:59:59 [944] connect from UNKNOWN (192.168.114.1) 2006/12/12 14:00:06 [944] rsync on . from unknown (192.168.114.1) 2006/12/12 14:00:06 [944] building file list 2006/12/12 14:00:07 [944] send unknown [192.168.114.1] test () downloads/Production Protocol Nov-15-06.mpp 140288 ...remove 1543 lines... 2006/12/12 14:03:35 [944] send unknown [192.168.114.1] test () twiki/upgrade-4.0.5.tgz 286522 then nothing until timeout My host config file: $Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97; $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97; $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 3; $Conf{FullKeepCntMin} = 1; $Conf{FullAgeMax} = 90; $Conf{IncrKeepCnt} = 7; $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin} = 1; $Conf{IncrAgeMax} = 30; $Conf{PartialAgeMax} = 3; $Conf{RestoreInfoKeepCnt} = 10; $Conf{ArchiveInfoKeepCnt} = 10; $Conf{BlackoutBadPingLimit} = 3; $Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = 7; $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [ { hourBegin => 7.0, hourEnd => 1.5, weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], }, ]; $Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd'; $Conf{RsyncShareName} = 'test'; $Conf{RsyncdAuthRequired} = 0; $Conf{EMailAdminUserName} = 'chris'; -- Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
