Hi Folks,
I'm just starting out with BackupPC and I must say my impressions so far
are great. I am running BackupPC 3.1.0 on Fedora 8. I'm hoping to get to
the point where I can backup our local PCs (just 2) and a couple of
partitions on the Linux server. I have the GUI up and running (no
mod_perl yet) and I can run user requested backups (incr and full). But
my scheduled backups don't appear to be happening. For testing purposes I
have set the wake up schedule to be every half an hour, I have disabled
blackout periods, and I have set full period to be 0.25 and the
incremental period to be 0.1. Thus my config files include the following
entries
etc/config.pl
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [ 1, '1.5', 2, '2.5', 3, '3.5', 4, '4.5',
5, '5.5', 6, '6.5', 7, '7.5', 8, '8.5', 9, '9.5', 10, '10.5',
11, '11.5', 12, '12.5', 13, '13.5', 14, '14.5', 15, '15.5', 16,
'16.5', 17, '17.5', 18, '18.5', 19, 19.5', 20, '20.5', 21,
'21.5', 22, '22.5', 23, '23.5'];
$Conf{BlackoutGoodCnt} = -1;
etc/pc/hostname.pl
$Conf{FullPeriod} = '0.25';
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.1';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
I have been this configuration for two hours now and the only backups are
the ones I have requested as a user. My log file is full of lines like
this
2008-03-21 17:00:12 Next wakeup is 2008-03-21 17:30:00
and not a lot else.
Is there any way to get BackupPC to tell me when it thinks it will next to
an Incremental or Full backup?
Can any one offer some advice on BackupPCs scheduling?
Thanks,
Gavin
