Hi, I have BackupPC 4.4.0 installed on Ubuntu Server 21.10 via the Ubuntu repo package.
All backup seems to be working fine. However a few directories are not included in the backup's I have noticed. One of these directories is "/var/lib/automysqlbackup". Which is created after installing "automysqlbackup" which creates auto backup's mysql db's. This folder has the following rights: root@server-123:/var/lib/automysqlbackup# ls -allh total 24K drwxr-x--- 6 root root 4.0K Mar 20 12:59 . drwxr-xr-x 47 root root 4.0K Mar 14 10:50 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Mar 14 10:50 daily drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Mar 14 10:50 monthly drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Mar 14 10:50 weekly When backuppc does a full backup it says that the backup has completed successfully. However when I check this directory backuppc has created the directory but says: The directory /var/lib/aytomysqlbackup is empty Although I do see the following in the log file: 2022-03-20 13:19:43 full backup 15 complete, 128577 files, 2864541467 bytes, 337 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 337 other) On the client machine (Ubuntu 20.04.4) I used "sudo visudo" to edit the /etc/sudoers file and added the following: # Allow backuppc to run rsync as root backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/rsync Furthermore I changed authorized_keys to add a couple of options to it: no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa XXXXXXXXXX backuppc@backup So the questions is why is that particular directory not being backed up?
