I have recently moved my server from Fedora to Scientific Linux 6.1 . I installed the backuppc binary from el6 and configured the system to use Mod_perl. At first the test back ups seemed to be working but when I try to do a full backup based on the host configuration files backuppc will only back up the root '/' file system. Partitions in fstab that are mounted at specific mount points return empty dumps. There are a number of error messages that have been recorded. The first is when I start backuppc:
# /etc/init.d/backuppc start Starting BackupPC: [ OK ] /etc/BackupPC//config.pl did not return a true value at - line 1. Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information. This must be do to the reading of the perl files in INSTALL_DIR/bin The following lines are the errors I get when backuppc attempts to descend into mountpoints. This occurs on the server as well as on network clients. full backup started for directory /data/bilbo (baseline backup #163) Running: /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/rsync --server --sender\ --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links\ --hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive\ --one-file-system --exclude= --ignore-times . /data/bilbo/ Xfer PIDs are now 29909 Got remote protocol 30 Negotiated protocol version 28 Sent include: /bin Sent include: /boot Sent include: /data Sent include: /dev Sent include: /etc Sent include: /home Sent include: /lib Sent include: /lib64 Sent include: /opt Sent include: /root Sent include: /sbin Sent include: /srv Sent include: /usr Sent include: /var Sent exclude: /* Sent exclude: cache Sent exclude: /data/bilbo/backup Sent exclude: /data/tmp Sent exclude: tmp Sent exclude: *.tmp Sent exclude: lost+found Sent exclude: /var/empty Sent exclude: /var/lock Sent exclude: /var/run Sent exclude: /var/spool Sent exclude: *.~ Sent exclude: /sys Xfer PIDs are now 29909,29911 [ skipped 1 lines ] Done: 0 files, 0 bytes Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /data) Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /data) Saving this as a partial backup, replacing the prior one (got 110083 and 0 files versus 0) full backup started for directory /; updating partial #164 #####################End of Output ############# I've tried to search the archives for relevant issues and haven't found a match to my problem. Just to reiterate the backups of the root file system are successful it is erroring out on the mounted sub-partitions. Any insight would be appreciated.
