Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3.0, rsyncd and UTF-8 support?
Craig Barratt wrote:
Rsync uses the native client charset coding (ie: it doesn't change anything).
On a windows machine that is typically cp1250.
BackupPC 3.0 uses utf8 on the server and can optionally translate
to/from the client charset coding by setting $Conf{ClientCharset},
eg:
$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1250';
In western europe you might need to use cp1252.
Unlike rsync, samba by default converts to/from utf8, so there is
no need to have BackupPC 3.0 do any conversion for smb.
Still, it doesn't work perfectly well for me.
Windows machine is a 2003, German version. It mostly has filenames in
German, so setting ClientCharset to cp1252 works well for German characters.
There are also filenames written for example in Russian or Greek, or
some other languages not covered by cp1252.
In such cases, I get info that the file has vanished, which is not
really true.
Is there a setting that will cover all languages?
The files in question can be read just fine on the Windows 2003 server.
Below, an example log showing problems with other languages:

[BackupPC-users] How to Troubleshoot BackupPC
Hello All,
I'm been testing BackupPC for awhile now (currently trying Beta3) and I'm
having some troubles with Rsyncd backups on windows machine. I have 2 BPC
machines setup for testing one at home and one in a remote colo location.
If I backup a WinXP machine at my home (just a test directory with about
3500 files and directories approx 900meg) it works and completes fine. When
I try the same backup from the colo location it seems to always fail. When
I check the host status it's listed as a partial backup but it has the
correct number of files and the size looks right. I have turned
XferLogLevel to 5 but I cannot find any reason in the error file or the log
file for the error. The only thing I see is 'Got exit from child' I'm not
even sure if that is a bad thing. Any advice on what might the cause of
this problem is most welcome.
Some Relevant Settings:
---
PingMaxMsec = 500 (Colo peers with my provider so pingtimes are very low)
Compression = 3
ClientTimeout = 72000 (Always seems to complete well within this time)
BackupZeroFilesisFatal = 0
Last lines of error files.
Finished deltaGet phase 0
Child is sending done
Got done from child
Finished deltaGet phase 1
Got stats: 2109233 1639372 930763695 0 ('errorCnt' = 0,'ExistFileSize' =
930763695,'ExistFileCnt' = 3494,'TotalFileCnt' = 3494,'ExistFileCompSize'
= 501763531,'TotalFileSize' = 930763695)
attribWrite(dir=fTest) - /backup/BackupPC/data/pc/aegis/new/fTest/attrib
attribWrite(dir=) - /backup/BackupPC/data/pc/aegis/new//attrib
Got exit from child
Done: 3494 files, 930763695 bytes
Backup aborted ()
Also noticing some other oddities in another host I'm testing but I will
post that in another thread.
Thanks
John

[BackupPC-users] Per-PC config problem
G'afternoon everyone.
I'm having a stupid problem with BackupPC and it's per-pc
configuration. I know I've done it before at another company, but I
don't have access to their stuff any more to see what stupid thing I'm
doing.
This is a nice fresh installation of 3.0.0beta3
These are from my main config.pl
$Conf{TopDir} = '/host/backuppc_data';
$Conf{ConfDir} = '/etc/BackupPC';
$Conf{LogDir} = '/var/log/BackupPC';
$Conf{InstallDir} = '/host/backuppc';
$Conf{CgiDir} = '/host/httpd/htdocs';
$Conf{XferMethod} = smb;
I'm still trying to get the first (and most important, of course)
site to back up. It's per-pc config is at:
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com/config.pl
which contains:
$Conf{XferMethod} = rsyncd;
$Conf{RsyncdUserName = user;
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = pass;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['CDrive', 'EDrive'];
When the backup runs, it's still trying to use the default smb, so I
know it's not reading the config.
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient domain.com\\C\$ -U -E -N -d 1 -c
tarmode\ full -Tc -
full backup started for share C$
[SNIP]
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share C$)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share C$)
I've made symlinks all over the place, trying to get this to work.
The real per-pc config is at
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com/config.pl
I've symlinked:
/host/backuppc_data/pc /host/backuppc/pc
/host/backuppc_etc/pc -- /host/backuppc_data/pc
/host/backuppc/pc -- /host/backuppc_data/pc
/var/lib/backuppc-- /host/backuppc
That last one, in turn makes /var/lib/backuppc/pc/domain.com link to
/host/backuppc_data/pc/domain.com
I can't figure out where these stupid per-pc configs go. I have
about 20 machines to get backed up sometime soon (like, this afternoon
would have been nice, but...) Of course, each one is owned by a
different person, which needs it's own custom config, because none of
them can have the same password as another. Some will use samba, some
rsync, blah, blah, blah.
I know it can be done. I had this working on a site with about 150
servers. I'm at a loss to why it doesn't work this time. Maybe a bug
in 3.0.0beta3, or a change that is escaping me, or complete user
failure?

[BackupPC-users] : Out of space on the backup volume. (Craig Barratt)
I'm out of space on my backup volume as well. I changed the config file to
hold less fulls and less incrementals but it won't clean what are my
options. This reply below seems to state it won't clean up files until it
can do another backup which it can't because the drive is full.

Hi,
I ran into exactly the same problem today (quite suddenly, it worked
before).
I put the LANG=C before sudo and for me it worked:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backuppc tmac
LANG=C /usr/bin/sudo ./GetTar -v -f - -C '

This is correct. Your configuration asks for at least one full
and at least 6 incrementals. It looks like this machine isn't
regularly on the network. The oldest incremental is quite old
(10/30) and the 10/24 full has to be kept for this incremental.
That full won't be deleted until another incremental occurs
(allowing the 10/30 incremental to be deleted).
In fact, the next time this machine is backed up, another full will
be done, not an incremental, since the oldest full is more than 7
days old. At this point, if you want fewer fulls you should either
reduce the number of old incrementals (see: $Conf{IncrKeepCntMin}
and $Conf{IncrAgeMax}), or reduce the total number of incrementals
(see $Conf{IncrKeepCnt}).
The basic point is that the number of incrementals (and their timing)
affects the number of fulls that needs to be kept. However, the
additional storage for each full is more modest than you might
expect beacuse of pooling.
The thing is... that the nightly cleanups do not happen. And thus, we
get this in log files:
My guess is that nothing is getting deleted from the pool since no
further backups have been deleted.

Hi,
In our department, we might combine several backup servers to one big one.
The question is of course, how do you start with that. Can you just copy
all the stuff?
Thanks
