That spare hard drive wouldn't happen to be an external USB or Firewire, would it?
Aaron Ciarlotta Linux/UNIX Systems Guru -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winston Chan Sent: Monday, March 26, 2007 8:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BackupPC-users] Unable to connect to BackupPC server error I had been running BackupPC on an Ubuntu computer for several months to back the computer to a spare hard drive without problem. About the time I added a new host (Windows XP computer using Samba), I started getting the following behavior: BackupPC backs both hosts properly onto the spare hard drive once or twice after I reboot the Ubuntu server. Then I get a "Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server" error when I attempt to go the web interface. When I restart BackupPC with "/etc/init.d/backuppc restart", I get a message "Can't create LOG file /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG at /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC line 1735." I have made sure that the backuppc is the owner of /var/lib/backuppc/log/LOG. It seems the only way to get backuppc to work again is to reboot the Ubuntu server. I then can see on the web interface that the last successful backup (of both hosts) occurred 1 or 2 days after the previous reboot. Then backupPC works for 1 or 2 backups and the cycle starts again. What is the cause of this and how can I fix it? Winston ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
