I am having problems backing up localhost. It only allows me to backup
directories and files with access set for all.
I have tried rsyncd. When I use rsync from my windows computer I can
copy files from any share, but when I try to use it from BackupPC it
gives me permissions problems.
Here is the xfer log:
Connected to localhost:873, remote version 29
Negotiated protocol version 26
Connected to module intranet
Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761
--ignore-times . .
Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761)
Remote[1]: rsync: link_stat "/." (in intranet) failed: Permission denied (13)
Xfer PIDs are now 28142
Remote[1]: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(615) [sender=2.6.8]
Read EOF:
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Child is aborting
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share intranet)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share intranet)
When that didn't work I thought I would try tar. I tried the sudo tar
trick given in the documentation, but it just seems to freeze waiting
for a password or something.
I cut and pasted the command from the documentation
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item_%24conf%7btarclientcmd%7d>
= '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
And I used visudo to add:
backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
Hi, you've set visudo for the command /bin/tar but.......
the error states that it is using /bin/gtar, which it gleans from $tarPath
The error message says:
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /home/School\ Intranet/ --totals
.
Xfer PIDs are now 28657,28656
Password:
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0
filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
You'll need to match them up for it to work.
you can also still use rsync with sudo and a script called rsyncSend.
See
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided
for examples.
