Hello, system info: Backuppc v.3 (latest stable via deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free) Debian Etch Tar v. 1.60
I'm trying to backup my cpool and pc's to an external disk attached to the same computer. Both are: ext3 1) Rsync -avHh for cpool works. Btw, i'm pretty sure this is the correct way for backup of the pool. Can someone confirm this? Or reply how you backup the backuppc data? I want a backup which i could soft-link the backuppc data folder to so everything keeps working in case of an emergency. I can't test it yet since BackupPC_tarPCCopy gives errors. 2)i can't find much info on the internet about the BackupPC_tarPCCopy errors. Atleast i hope i didn't miss a very obvious post/faq somewhere... As backuppc user using: e.g. for only one computer (50+ computer are being fully backupped) BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mpi021 | (cd /backups/backuppc/pc/mpi021 && tar xPf -) gives something like this: tar: ./mpi021/7/fC$/fDocuments and Settings/fAdministrator/fMijn documenten/fHPLJ24x0/ftoolbox/attrib: Cannot hard link to `../cpool/d/b/1/db10c689101ef0b373742b62b7b6f532': No such file or directory backuppc has write rights as owner for the target directory: drwxr-x--- 11 backuppc backuppc 4096 2007-10-18 14:31 mpi021 /var/lib/backuppc is soft-linked to another directory but if i try that i get: Argument /data/backuppc/pc/mpi021 must be an absolute path starting with /var/lib/backuppc i'm not really sure what goes wrong. I found some info about the leading "/" with cpool. But that part seems ok; hence the usage of P for the tar command. Btw, this is a really great program.
