Hi all,
I am trying to backup a MacOS 12 system. At least the user data, not the
full system.
I was able to allow access from remote through rsync. My backuppc user
can do a ssh username@macbook without any issues.
I configured the mac in Backuppc to exclude the directories which appear
not to be accessible for my user. Just do a backup of /Users/username/,
not the full system.
I had an issue with the "-s" parameter just as described in an old post
four years ago in this list. So I just removed the "-s" (--protect-args)
from the client configuration and the rsync backup finally went fine.
Well "fine". It did not show any errors but when checking my backup it
really looks strange. Some directories are empty in backup where the Mac
has files in it. Other directories I excluded as above have files stored
in backup. Strange.
So what I have:
/user@macbook ~ % du -hs * >log//
//user@macbook ~ % cat log //
//172M Applications//
//1,0M Desktop//
// 57G Documents//
//3,0G Downloads//
//5,8G Library//
//172K Movies//
// 12M Music//
//4,7G Pictures//
// 0B Public
////user@macbook ~ % ls -lh //
//total 8//
//drwx------ 3 user staff 96B 29 Nov 10:30 Applications///
//drwx------+ 11 user staff 352B 6 Dez 08:44 Desktop///
//drwx------@ 95 ///user/ staff 3,0K 4 Dez 21:57 Documents///
//drwx------+ 9 ///user/ staff 288B 6 Dez 08:41 Downloads///
//drwx------@ 87 ///user/ staff 2,7K 5 Dez 06:44 Library///
//drwx------ 5 ///user/ staff 160B 4 Dez 22:41 Movies///
//drwx------+ 4 ///user/ staff 128B 29 Nov 06:19 Music///
//drwx------+ 5 ///user/ staff 160B 4 Dez 13:18 Pictures///
//drwxr-xr-x+ 4 ///user/ staff 128B 28 Nov 18:16 Public///
//-rw-r--r-- 1 ///user/ staff 123B 6 Dez 09:01 log//
/
And this is how my backup looks like (let only important information there):
Name Type Mode # Size Date modified
Applications dir 0700 0 0 2021-11-29 10:30:18
Documents dir 0700 0 0 2021-12-04 21:57:11
Downloads dir 0700 0 0 2021-12-05 10:38:47
[...]
So you notice these directories have files in them. But not in the
backup. The logfiles stays everything was fine:
2021-12-06 08:21:20 full backup started for directory /Users/user
2021-12-06 08:29:12 full backup 0 complete, 9214 files, 44660018 bytes, 9
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 9 other)
The missing files within the directories should be fine by permissions:
user@macbook ~ % ls -alh Downloads | head
total 6024
drwx------+ 9 user staff 288B 6 Dez 08:41 ./
drwxr-x---+ 22 user staff 704B 6 Dez 09:01 ../
-rw-r--r--@ 1 user staff 766K 5 Dez 08:31 some_file.pdf
The "+" sign indicates some extended ACLs on the directories which I
checked, too:
/user@macbook ~ % xattr
Downloads/2018_10_17_Mobil-O-Graph_DE_VerB_Website.pdf//
//com.apple.lastuseddate#PS//
//com.apple.macl//
//com.apple.metadata:kMDItemWhereFroms//
//com.apple.quarantine//
/
Anyone having an idea how to get my files properly synced?
Thanks!
