I've made quite a bit of headway on my issues deploying a BackupPC 4
server. I was having issues with the $Conf{RsyncClientPath} because the
client path on FreeBSD is /usr/local/bin/rsync, whereas on Linux, the path
os /usr/bin/rsync, and specifying it in the per-host config files did not
override the one in config.pl. So I commented it out of config.pl, and the
per-host files seem to work correctly. So is that a change from 3 to 4 that
the config.pl overrides the per-host config files?Now having figured that piece of it out, I have a couple of other issues that I would like to as about. First, I am noticing that, while all of these are Unix and Linux boxes, with their heirarchical filesystems layout, I am seeing directories not being backed up, for instance, /home and /var/log that I have noticed so far. I drill down in the dieplay and see things like The directory / <http://romaine/bpc/backuppc.pl?action=browse&host=defiant&num=0&share=/&dir=/> usr <http://romaine/bpc/backuppc.pl?action=browse&host=defiant&num=0&share=/&dir=/usr> /home <http://romaine/bpc/backuppc.pl?action=browse&host=defiant&num=0&share=/&dir=/usr/home> is empty For comparison, my v3 installation for my workstation (FBSD) had 647808 files (81908.8 MiB) for the last full backup, while the v4 install has 577488 files (74564.2 MiB). My wife's desktop (Linux) has 261948 files (19657.6 MiB) in v3, and 17538 files (1146.9 MiB), so a ton of files seem to be missing. The other thing is that I have a device I want to turn off backups on, so I set $Conf{BackupsDisable} = 1; but it is still trying to access the device though it is offline. Any ideas on these issues? Thanks, --b
