[BackupPC-users] backing up localhost
I set up backuppc. It works with the clients but not with localhost. Empty folders and some few files do get backed up. The command: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost commes up with entries like: tarExtract: Can't link /var/lib/backuppc/pc/localhost/new/f% 2fetc/fhdparm.conf to /var/lib/backuppc/pool/1/d/5/1d5a89be4b5f331ad4eaedd493e5eeff I tried: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/localhost.html but it doesn't help. The folders stay empty. I use Ubuntu 7.04 with backuppc 2.1.2 (the root user I activated) Thank you Markus - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[BackupPC-users] API for full size?
Is there a way for a script to retrieve the Full Size/GB as reported on the Host Summary page? I want to write a script that checks that users haven't exceeded their backup quota.

[BackupPC-users] Status of rsync backup
Is there any way to tell the status of an on-going rsync backup? Ideally, I'd like to see how many file have been backed up, how many are left, how many were skipped because they're already there, etc. I know this is possible with the command line rsync via the --progress option, but I'm not sure about File::RsyncP. Also, I want to be able to view it while the backup is still happening. I have a large backup that is taking several days to complete and I want to be able to see what is going on. Also, is there any way to view the log file as it's being created? I tried using zcat, but that didn't do it. file reported it as simply being data, so I'm not sure what type of compression it's even using. If that is not possible, is there a way to have it log the file un-compressed and just compress it once the backup is complete since then it will be viewable in the web interface?

Is there a way for a script to retrieve the Full Size/GB as reported on
the Host Summary page?
yes, as the Host Summary page does :-). See BackupPC::CGI::Summary.
Setting XEmacs to quick-hack-mode, I get something like this:
-*- quick-hack -*-
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use lib '/usr/share/backuppc/lib'; # adapt to match your installation
use BackupPC::Lib;
my $hostname = shift
or die Usage: $0 hostname\n;
my $bpc = new BackupPC::Lib
or die Can't create BackupPC object!\n;
my @backups = $bpc - BackupInfoRead ($hostname)
or die Invalid hostname '$hostname' or other error!\n;
for (my $i = @backups - 1; $i = 0; $i --) {
if ($backups [$i] {type} eq 'full') {
printf %.2f\n, $backups [$i] {size} / 1024 / 1024 / 1000;
last;
}
}
-*- /quick-hack -*-
Note that
- you need to run that as the backuppc user for access to the information,
- you only get the number as output, formatted as in the host summary page,
- the number is in units of 1000 MB, where 1 MB is 2^20 Bytes - I don't
know if I've seen *that* definition of GB somewhere before ;-),
- no error checking, no guarantees etc.
I want to write a script that checks that users
haven't exceeded their backup quota.
If you want to iterate over all hosts belonging to one user, look at
GetUserHosts in BackupPC::CGI::Lib ...
-*- quick-hack -*-
$hostinfo = $bpc - HostInfoRead ();
@hosts = sort grep { $hostinfo - {$_} {user} eq $user ||
$hostinfo - {$_} {moreUsers} =~ /(?:^|,)$user(?:,|$)/ }
keys %$hostinfo;
-*- /quick-hack -*-
(you might consider belonging to one user to mean to leave out the
moreUsers check).
Regards,
Holger

[BackupPC-users] Partial backups
Ok, now that I know how to view log files from the command line (guess I should check the bin dir first from now on :-), it looks like when a partial backup is saved, it only contains individual shares that were actually backed up completely. I have a server with four separate partitions that I back up separately using the rsync --one-file-system parameter. The first one completed and the second one failed about half way through. The saved partial seems only to include the first partition and not the partial backup of the second. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that the log file for the currently running full includes lines saying that files are being created that I know were backed up in the first run. So my question is this: What happens to those files that rsync transferred before the backup aborted? Is there any way to have the next run of rsync start from that base so that they don't need to be transferred over again? If I am looking at this wrong, let me know. I may be missing something in the log files. Thanks, --Jason - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
