Hello, Is it possible to access backups created with a different machine?
My backuppc server died, but /var/lib/backuppc was on a different disk so I still have full backups of localhost. Ideally I would like to restore the full system but it would already be very good to recover the mysql databases and selected system configuration files. I reinstalled ubuntu, reinstalled backuppc, relinked /var/lib/backuppc but - No joy with the GUI (old backups do not show) - No joy using the command line. (as backuppc user) $ /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 224 -s '/' /var/lib/mysql > /tmp/dbs.tar /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate: bad backup number 224 for host localhost - BackupPC_zcat works but I have not figured out how to restore user:group and permissions Is there a way to get the GUI to read the backups (I am lazy)? If not is there a way to trick BackupPC_tarCreate? Note that when I re-installed backuppc it probably wrote new files in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/ and I do not have backups of those.
