Server & client are both FreeBSD 6. The dir, sd, and fd are
all 1.38.5_1, installed from FreeBSD ports tree (I guess it's
time to schedule an upgrade ...)
To backup workstations, I simply run a job that backs up /home
since we're not terribly worried about data anywhere else on the
drive. Problem I'm having is that incremental jobs fail silently
when /home is a symlink to /usr/home (which occurs with a default
partition layout on FreeBSD).
The resultant job looks like this:
JobId: 461
Job: vanquish-home.2006-04-22_23.05.10
Backup Level: Incremental, since=2006-04-22 00:57:09
Client: "vanquish-fd" i386-portbld-freebsd6.0,freebsd,6.0-RELE
FileSet: "CFHome" 2006-03-20 21:17:17
Pool: "CFOnDisk"
Storage: "File"
Scheduled time: 22-Apr-2006 23:05:09
Start time: 22-Apr-2006 23:11:02
End time: 22-Apr-2006 23:11:09
Priority: 10
FD Files Written: 0
SD Files Written: 0
FD Bytes Written: 0
SD Bytes Written: 0
Rate: 0.0 KB/s
Software Compression: None
Volume name(s): Daily-0004
Volume Session Id: 58
Volume Session Time: 1145471229
Last Volume Bytes: 178,940,243
Non-fatal FD errors: 0
SD Errors: 0
FD termination status: OK
SD termination status: OK
Termination: Backup OK
The fileset resource looks like this:
# This set contains the /home directory
FileSet {
Name = "CFHome"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
compression = GZIP
onefs = no
}
File = /home
}
}
If I simply change "File = /home" to "File = /usr/home", all is well.
Full backups seem don't run so well either. I looked back through
the log, and the last full backup on this machine only backed up a
single file, whereas /home has over 12,000 files. This is a non-
optimal solution, however, since I'd have to check each system to
determine whether or not /home is a directory/partition or a symlink.
If I change "File = /home" to "File = /home/", it works fine. Can anyone
imagine any potential negative side effects?
The examples in the docs consistently show directories without the
trailing slash, and I haven't noticed any warnings or gotchas regarding
symlinks. Perhaps this is something that simply needs documented?
