Hi there,
Hi,
Quite a few years ago when I upgraded 3 to 4 I had similar problems.
Thank you for taking the time to respond and share your knowledge, I
appreciate it.
There are three tables on that page, you may need to scroll vertically
to reach them. (I've always thought it would be better if there were
only one table on the page, and you had to scroll horizontally to see
the columns you probably only need infrequently, but I digress.) The
first table is "Backup Summary", the second is "Xfer Error Summary",
the third is "File Size/Count Reuse Summary".
Found them, thank you - I think the phrase "can't see the wood for the
trees" applies here! The only excuse I can come up with is being so used
to the old interface I didn't think to scroll down that far (or I just
wasn't paying enough attention) - which is no excuse really.
2. I also don't seem to have any storage graphs in the UI - these were
working in v3, so I'm not sure what I've done to lose/break these?
IIRC I had the same problem. The list didn't help much so I just blew
away the V4 installation and reinstalled from scratch. Got graphs now.
Oh, that sounds a little drastic - I think I'll take a break for a
couple of days and then have another look with fresh eyes before I go
that far. Good to know that a full, fresh, install _should_ resolve it
- now you mentioned reinstalling I have vague memories of having a
similar problem between two v3 versions once and that might be how I
fixed it then.
3. I cannot edit the configurations through the v4 UI, which I could
through v3 - again, I'm not sure what I've broken here?
Sorry, can't help. Wherever possible I avoid editing a configuration
through a Web UI. My single experience of using the UI for BackupPC
was was that the V3 UI deleted all the comments in the file and I had
to restore from a backup... since then I've never used the UI to edit.
Yes, it does muck up the configuration files somewhat (which, in my
environment, the get put back by a configuration management tool) but I
did use it for quickly toggling something or temporarily disabling
backups for a host. I can live without it, just was handy occasionally
to make those minor tweaks when I was already looking at it through the
web-browser.
I'm sure it's something simple I've overlooked but BackupPC has a
_lot_
of options, so if anyone knows the answer off the top of their head I
would really appreciate the timesaver having already spent 3 days
buried
in BackupPC!
Been there, got the t-shirt. I feel your pain.
Thanks :)
I really like BackupPC, been using it for well over a decade (had my
skin saved by it more than once) and very pleased about the pool changes
in v4. Just taken me far too long to get around to upgrading my live
system.
Thanks again for your time,
Laurence
