[BackupPC-users] backup pc 3.0 do not want to limit the backup
Hello,
I have made a fresh install of backuppc 3.0. All seems ok but i have trouble backuping the hosts as backuppc ignore
the directory list i want to backup. The host file is :
-rw-r- 1 backuppc www-data 387 Feb 13 08:46
/etc/BackupPC/pc/myservername.pl
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/' = [
'/etc',
'/usr/local/etc'
]
};
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l aqbackup $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l aqbackup $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' = [
'/var/log',
'/proc'
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
when i do a ps i got:
/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--links
--hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /
so it tries to backup all the server and not only the part i want. Even changing the configuration in the
/etc/Backuppc/config.pl to put the same directories do not work. Any idea ?

I don't know the exact answer to this (Craig?), but definitely, the files are compressed with strange hashed filenames, and many each backup stores the real filename and metadata as a hardlink to these compressed, hashed filenames. So, you see, if you allowed a user to work directly with any one version of the file on the server, it would necessarily 'corrupt' the backups not only where the user is working, but going back in time as well.

Not through the web interface, but from _my_ terminal. What you are describing is simply rsync or subversion/cvs/arch. If you want people to work independently of a central store, but have access to that store in absence of their primary work machine, you want a central repository of their files. A backup system of some sort may do that for you, but I think perhaps that is going too far: a revision control system would be more appropriate, if the users needed to go back to previous versions of files. Otherwise, rsync with a central server on a frequent basis automatically when a secure network connection can be built to your server. Rsync'ing that data back to a local machine as needed is pretty straightforward, especially if wrapped in a simple UI. My $.02, at least. Good luck, JH - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[BackupPC-users] rsync on . from backuppc
Hi there list :)
I use backuppc to take backup of a bunch of hosts, but I ran into problems
with the last one I set up, I can't find anything that is different on
this one...but it won't work...
So any hints would be greatly appreciated, here are the files
ryncd.conf:
log file=/var/log/rsyncd
pid file=/var/run/rsyncd.pid
[all]
comment = All disk
path = /
use chroot = no
lock file = /var/lock/rsyncd
read only = no
list = yes
uid = root
gid = root
auth users = backuppc
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = no
ignore errors = yes
ignore nonreadable = yes
transfer logging = no
timeout = 600
dont compress = *.gz *.tgz *.zip *.z *.rpm *.deb *.iso *.bz2 *.tbz
And the corresponding .pl file in /etc/backuppc on the server:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['all'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} ={
'all' =
['/tmp',
'/proc',
'/boot',
'/sys',
'/var/run',
'/boot',
'/dev',
'/media',
'/mnt']
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'user';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'password';
The server can ping the host by name.
The problem is that when I try to run a full backup it fails at once with
the following in the rsync-log:
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] connect from backuppc (192.168.0.59)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync on . from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (192.168.0.59)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] building file list
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4
bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32)
2007/02/13 21:16:35 [20364] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data
stream (code 12) at io.c(1122) [sender=2.6.9]
Why is it trying to rsync on ., I'm asking it to rsync all aren't I?
Other hosts with the exact same .pl file is working fine, and if I
manually runs:
rsync -aPv rsync://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/all . it runs fine...
Any ideas or pointers greatly appreciated :)
Thanx

Craig must be an insane programming genius to have tackled a project like that in perl and succeeded. wow, maximum respect for that. Good effort Craig. If they are doing things where versioning makes sense, you should provide a CVS or subversion repository and arrange things so the only way any work is considered 'done' is when it is committed. If it is more like spreadsheets and documents, something like 'unison' might work with a server location holding the matching copy. Unison is like a bi-directional rsync that keeps track of where the latest changes were done. Tried to provide a group-wide svn structure to handle collab work and remove all the probs with group-shares. Seems unfeasable without copious training for users. Would be nice. The more techie oriented users deal with it no probs so it isn't canned completely. Someday maybe It there a way of exploiting the BackupPC_Restore to dump to a local folder, even if piped through tar/gtar/star? Not through the web interface, but from _my_ terminal. The generic way is with the command line BackuPC_tarCreate which you can find in the documentation. You can pipe its output directly into a tar -x where you want it. Thanks Les, I'll take a closer look. Cheers for your advice. Rob - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[BackupPC-users] GUI error after upgrade
Hello list! My thanks again go out to Craig for a great piece of software! I have been running BackupPC 2.1.1 on a debian box, installed by the apt-get package system. Tonight I upgraded by compiling 3.0.0, and encountered a good number of problems, largely resulting from Debian modifications. The problems had for the most part been covered on this list previously, and I got through nearly all of them. The problem that remains is some misconfiguration of the webpage or cgi script. I have 3 hosts being backed up, one using tar with a very limited sudo, one with samba, and the 3rd with rsyncd. With all 3 hosts, I can view their previous backups, but clicking on the Start Incr Backup or Start Full Backup will simply return me to the default homepage, the one generated by the BackupPC_Admin file in the cgi-bin. The currently running jobs section of the main page will have nothing in it, and a CLI check will confirm that the backup is not being performed. When I follow the steps in the FAQ, I can su to the backuppc user, and issue the command __INSTALLDIR__/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f hostName, and the backup will be done. The main page still doesn't show anything in process under currently running jobs, but once the CLI backup is complete, the backup files will exist, and the webpage GUI shows them. It seems the config and executable files as well as permissions are all correct, otherwise the CLI backup would fail. I am logging both errors and access to an apache log in addition to backuppc's own logging, but I don't see anything. The data directory, where the individual host XferLog and LOG files are don't get updated at all when I use the webpage to start the backup, but the CLI backup updates all logs in this directory as expected. If any additional info or configs would make this easier to diagnose, please let me know. Thanks, Jim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
