[BackupPC-users] Error when backuping UTF8 share 'C$ = '/UTF8 chars/*' - Zlib.pm line 426

2008-08-14 Thread Milan Mašek
Hi all :)!
My configuration:
BackupPC 3.1.0 on CentOS 5.2

When I set up $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} with UTF8 chars than BackupPC fails
with error in a main log.
E.g. C$ = /Komerční sféra kontakty/*

2008-08-14 15:49:30 pc1: Wide character in subroutine entry at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Compress/Zlib.pm line 426.

On the other hand everything works well when UTF8 chars are deeper in
directory structure.

Has anybody any idea how to solve this error?
Thanks a lot for your help.
M.

[BackupPC-users] notes on Seagate Free Agent drive

2008-08-14 Thread Chris Baker
A couple days ago, someone asked about Linux and Western Digital external
hard drives. This is a response, sort of. I am posting my notes on how I got
a Seagate Free Agent drive to work with Linux. I hope this will help with
other drives. I make no guarantees.


We purchased a Seagate FreeAgent USB drive. Unfortunately, Seagate only
supports it with Windows and Macs. It worked find with Windows XP. On the
Linux box, that was a different story.

Research indicated that the drive was already formatted into NTFS. I knew
this would not be an issue as people mount NTFS partitions all the time on
Linux.

I went to the site www.linux-ntfs.org. I found just about all I needed on
that site. I found this page especially helpful:
www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount. It had some good instructions:

First of all you need to download FUSE from Sourcefourge. Then: 

tar zxvf fuse-2.7.0.tar.gz
cd fuse-2.7.0
./configure
Make
make install

Then you need to install ntfsprogs: 

tar zxvf ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz
cd ntfsprogs-2.0.0
./configure --enable-fuse-module
Make
make install

This installed the ntfsmount command, which I did not have before. But I
wasn't quite finished.

Apparently the issue with this drive has to do with power management. I ran
the command hdparm -Z to disable Seagate auto-powersaving mode. After
that, I simply ran the command:

ntfsmount /dev/sda1 /media/FreeAgent_Drive

Then, I was ready to go. I could get to the hard drive through the GUI or
the command line.

Why didn't you just reformat it with your favorite filesystem?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Error restore with rsync and spaces in file names

 Hi everybody
 
 Backup works perfectly.
 But:
 When I want to restore a file, it works on a - how should say, pure
 physical level.
 For example:
 
 /home/sub-directory/another dirextiry/second subdirecctory/file1.doc
 /home/sub-directory/another dirextiry/file2.doc
 
 all is beeing saved correctly
 
 Now, when I restore file2.doc, it creates the following file:
 /home/sub-directory/another\
 where another\  is the file restored.
 
 It does not handle the spaces within the directory-name (same happnes
 with file names containing spaces).
 
 Also when I do restore a whole sub-directory, it creates a path and
 therein the subdirectories as follows:
 /home/sub-directory/another\
 in this it creates subdirectory
 /home/sub-directory/another\ /second subdirectory
 with all it's files.
 
 Thanks for any help or suggestion
 
 Lukas
 
 System running ubuntu 8.04-server, with samba-shares from local network
 and backuppc v.3.0.0 (with apt-get install backuppc, therefore standard
 installation within ubuntu)

Update Infos:

using rsync locally, therefore not through ssh

you forgot to remove the '+' from argList, i.e. you have $argList+ in
RsyncClientRestoreCmd ?
