Re: [BackupPC-users] /bin/tar: ./totty: file changed as we read it
I found the reason and a (for now) quick solution. The Reason first (from: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/tar/NEWS?rev=1.125root=tarview=auto): GNU tar NEWS - User visible changes. Please send GNU tar bug reports to bug-tar@gnu.org version 1.16 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2006-10-21 * After creating an archive, tar exits with code 1 if some files were changed while being read. Previous versions exited with code 2 (fatal error), and only if some files were truncated while being archived. The quick solution was to download tar-1.15.1, build and use it. Does 3.0.0 work with tar 1.16? Torsten Am Freitag, 1. Dezember 2006 13:55 schrieb Torsten Sadowski: Hi, the new tar seems to be a bit more nervous than the old one. One Problem could be solved with LANG=C but another point are probably changes in the backed up filesystem. Is there a possibility to ignore this error?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems getting Samba connection to work - XP
The XP machine is messed up. It is XP pro but I do not have a Folder Options in my control panel or in Windows Explorer in order to turn off simple file sharing. I confirmed that the current user was a member of the Administrator group. What I did is go in and create a new Admin user and that new user had the Folder Options. I used the new Admin user to turn off simple file sharing and then deleted the C$ share. I then rebooted and the C$ share gets reestablished either on a reboot or a start/restart of server in services. After I did all this I could connect to the C$ share. This is not a BackupPC or Samba issue. Last night I did a full backup of C$ and this morning I saw that it took over 600 minutes to get over 30 GB backed up. I did notice that there was no compression of files even though compression was set to default 3. This may be a misunderstanding on my part of how BackupPC works (maybe compression only works using tar or rsync, I don't know). I will play with that for a while to gain an understanding before posting here. I will be chasing the C$ share/Folder Options issue on a Windows forum somewhere. Thanks for all your help!

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_link got error -4
Ahhh, that would make sense (I guess as still learning Linux). I installed Debian on one smallish sized drive using ext3, tested backupPC, decided to go further but needed to add additional drive space. In doing so I ran across a couple comments somewhere about using ReiserFS instead of ext2 or ext3. I installed the second drive and formatted it with ReiserFS. I moved the /var/lib/backuppc/pc to the second drive and symbolic linked it. I will try moving the cpool to the same drive and symbolic link that one as well. I am open to any better suggestions or any thoughts about partition types to use. Luckily I have not gotten far so I can always redo things if necessary. Thanks Craig, I really appreciate your feedback and assistance on this. - Original Message - From: Craig Barratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mac Hamblin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 11:25 PM Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_link got error -4 Mac writes: I have searched but can't find anything about this (hope I didn't miss it somewhere).

[BackupPC-users] Rsync errors, sig=ALRM
I have a Win2k box running the rsyncd package. It is over an 802.11g link (about 1MB/s throughput when copying via windows shares manually, but over rsync it's getting closer to 350k). Thus it takes about 40 or so hours to backup the system. I've taken to excluding tons of stuff just to get a full backup to complete, then for each incremental, I remove one or two directories from the exclude paths to introduce the files to the backup pool. Painful. Well, I put in a directory with a few very large files in it and it started failing to backup at around the 23 hour mark. Mind, I've extended the ClientTimeout to 72. Here's what the rsyncd.log has on it: 2006/12/05 08:37:42 [6824] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes [sender]: Connection reset by peer (104) 2006/12/05 08:37:42 [6824] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1119) [sender=2.6.8] 2006/12/05 08:56:25 [6900] connect from backup.flaredev.com (192.168.0.196) 2006/12/05 08:56:27 [6900] rsync on . from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (192.168.0.196) 2006/12/05 09:05:41 [6900] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Software caused connection abort (113) 2006/12/05 09:05:41 [6900] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1119) [sender=2.6.8] The server status says the program was interrupted by sig=ALRM, which I'm assuming is the client timeout.

This may be a misunderstanding on my part of how BackupPC works (maybe compression only works using tar or rsync, I don't know). If you haven't installed Compress::Zlib then compression won't happen. Unlike 2.x, in 3.0.0 it is a fatal error to specify compression without Compress::Zlib being available. Look at the bottom of the host summary to see whether the files were compressed. Note that when you browse a backup with the CGI interface the files appear uncompressed whether or not they are really compressed. Craig - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
