If I understand what you say, on my backup HDD I need conf, cpool,
log, pc, pool, save and trash to be there ?
Is for that reason that's not working :-/
I wish I could do a rotation between 2 hdd every 2 weeks....
Maybe if I do the same thing on the other HDD: copy all needed
directory and mount the hdd partition under /files/
P.S: As you guessed I supposed, I'm quite new as using backuppc :-/
Ok I've done some cleaning it was a little bit a mess :-/
BackuPC behave a little better now but I still have old backup that
BackupPC_nightly doesn't want to remove :-/
I think I have to choice:
1°) Comment the line for the host I backup files and let backuppc
propose me tout delete its backup files
2°) Use the BackupPC_deletebackup I saw on the wiki:
http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/How+to+delete+backups
What do you think about?
Since you have 2 disks, you could just start from scratch on one of
them and wait until it has a complete set before you swap again.
Another approach is to always run on an internal drive, but
periodically image-copy to a matching external disk that you rotate
offsite. I do it that way myself but recently switched from firewire
externals to a swappable SATA enclosure. I do the mirroring with
software raid, but it would work as well to unmount the partition
temporarily and dd it.
Hello Les,
By "start from scratch" you mean comment the backuped host in the
"hosts" file, let BackupPC running and deleting all backup made?
Or what I have to delete manually?
For now backup hdd is connected as JBOD to the main RAID controller. I
made a script which is executed via Webmin to stop/start backuppc,
umount/mount the hdd, remove it from RAID controller/rescan the
controller for new inserted disk.
Nice tips you told here :-)
With a swappable SATA enclosure I could dd one backup of 2 weeks on one
hdd and the backup of the following 2 weeks on the other one and do the
rotation... I'll think about it.
Thanks,
Cheers,
Hervé
