Re: [BackupPC-users] ps -ef shows running but no data
Not quite sure what you mean by BackupPC_zcat the XferLOG. How do I do
that?
I see /var/backuppc/pc/6.1.1.2 in there and has contents LOCK LOG.
072008.z LOG.082008 NewFileList XferLOG.bad.z XferLOG.z.
BackupPC is running right now. Looking in the LOG.082008, the last
lines are:
2008-08-22 16:40:51 Aborting backup up after signal INT
2008-08-22 16:40:52 Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
2008-08-22 16:40:52 full backup started for directory /home/backuppc/
test/log
I believe these are from manually stopping the backup then starting it
again.
I didn't change $Conf{RsyncArgs}. Below is what is contained there:
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'-D',
'--links',
'--hard-links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--recursive'
];
Increased the $Conf{XferLogLevel} to 3 and only get a fileListReceive
failed when I cancel the backup.

actually, there is a pattern, and your error messages are incomplete (you
don't just get one message, you get more in your XferLOG, and more than the
one message is relevant). I am convinced that check_ssh is not working
properly for whatever reason (see below).
If it fails initially, you get "no ping response". If it works initially, you
apparently get "No files dumped for share /" (in *both* cases - '/etc' and
'etc', as they're both changed to './etc' by BackupPC::Xfer::Tar, and there's
no reason why an identical command line should behave differently depending on
the contents of an unrelated configuration file on a remote host), which in
turn triggers another "ping" check. If that fails, you get "lost network
connection ..." (and if it doesn't fail, you don't). So, we're back to the
question I forgot to ask initially: what's in /etc/config/users/backup/tarSend?
What shell is it run with, busybox ash? And while we're at it:
$Conf{TarFullArgs}, $Conf{TarIncrArgs} use the default values? What command is
actually executed (XferLOG)? What happens if you pipe that command into
'tar tvf -' on the command line?

That's a contradiction. Either you have a firewall or a simple hard wired
ethernet. A firewall can and will limit what goes across the wire - that's its
purpose. It's not uncommon to limit more than you really want to (and that's
better than limitting less than you really want to).
First of all: I don't know check_ssh. Does it reliably return exit code 0 for
success and nonzero for failure? Can you run it repeatedly from a shell
without getting a failure? Try something like
% for i in `seq 1 100`; do
> /usr/local/bin/check_ssh $host || echo "failed on iteration $i"
> done
Yes, that's a tight loop on purpose.
> And these results are 100% repeatable.
If that is true, you must have put considerable effort into verifying it.
There are up to 4 invocations of the ping command if I counted correctly. It
is obviously failing sometimes - the occurrences of "no ping response" and
"lost network connection ..." prove that. You can get more information on
which ones are failing by running BackupPC_dump with a -v option.

Presuming you are not satisfied with that solution.

I also read this as "all of / except /proc, /sys, /mnt, /opt, plus
/opt/zimbra/backup". I would implement this like BackupPC does, though it's
perhaps not intuitive :-). If you are using rsync(d), that is. It won't work
with tar or smb.
$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} =
[ '/proc', '/sys', '/mnt',
'+ /opt/zimbra', '/opt/*',
'+ /opt/zimbra/backup', '/opt/zimbra/*' ];
The trick is that all of BackupFilesExclude gets passed to rsync as
'--exclude=/...' arguments. Rsync treats '--exclude=+ /something' as an
include. Thus you're including /opt/zimbra, excluding the rest of /opt, and
likewise including /opt/zimbra/backup and excluding the rest of /opt/zimbra.
That should get you what you want. For a better explanation see
BackupPC::Xfer::Rsync, lines 156 and following.
Note that the order matters: '+ /opt/zimbra' needs to be before '/opt/*' and
likewise for '.../backup'. If it feels more comprehensible, you may change
'/opt/*' to '- /opt/*' (and likewise for other excludes). You need a single
space character between +/- and the path.
I was just wondering why we can't let BackupPC do this. The reason is that
BackupPC would also generate a '+ /opt' and '/*' so that everything except
/opt/zimbra/backup would be left out. This is what your version requests:
> > $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/mnt', '/opt'];
> > $Conf{BackupFilesOnly) = '/opt/zimbra/backup';
"only backup /opt/zimbra/backup and exclude some things that are already left
out anyway". We know you don't want that, so we can simply leave out the
exclusion of '/*'.

Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] Exclude and Only combo
I think what he is trying to achieve is a backup of everthing minus
the exclude plus the specified include (which is within one of the
excludes).
I would take the approach of configuring two backups. One would start
at root (/) and exclude using the list from above. The second backup
would start with the base directory in /opt/zimbra/backup and exclude
nothing. You could do this as one backup, but the include/exclude
would be difficult (the way you have it won't work), and would be
prone to in/ex-clude stuff you didn't intend to.

Assuming you only want to backup that one directory and nothing
else, since all the excludes are outside/above the one directory
you want all you need is:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly) = '/opt/zimbra/backup';
Leave $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} empty.
An alternative is to use '/opt/zimbra/backup' for $Conf{TarShareName}
and leave both $Conf{BackupFilesOnly) and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude}
empty.

[BackupPC-users] Exclude and Only combo
I need to back up a Zimbra mail server, but I can't get the whole
thing in any reasonable amount of time. I want to exclude the usual
stuff:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/mnt'];
But I also want to exclude all of /opt, except /opt/zimbra/backup.
Is this the right way to go about this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/mnt', '/opt'];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly) = '/opt/zimbra/backup';
I'm using tar as the backup method.

But here's the problem I'm currently struggling with, here's the
config file for this client:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l backup $host /usr/bin/env
LC_ALL=C /etc/config/users/backup/tarSend -c -v -f - -C $shareName+';
$Conf{PingCmd} = '/usr/local/bin/check_ssh $host';
$Conf{XferMethod} = "tar";
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = '/etc';
When the last line contains a '/', I get "no ping response".
That most certainly has nothing to do with the '/', because the ping
command
is run long before the tar command line is built. What does
/usr/local/bin/check_ssh contain?
/usr/local/bin/check_ssh is a nagios (binary) plugin that checks for
ssh connectivity. I use it on all my linux boxes as we have ping
blocked by the firewall.
When I leave it out, I get "No files dumped for share /". What
gives?
All of it sounds like intermittent network failures. What did you
say about
the network? WLAN with 20 m of concrete between machines? Broken
cable/switch/multiport repeater? Arp poisoning device? When did this
problem
start? What piece of hardware (or software) did you change shortly
before?
What does a simple 'ping' say (when run for a while)? A flood ping?
A command
line rsync (or tar ... "ssh -l backup $host tar cf - / > /dev/null")?
Well, I'd like to think it was that simple, but the network is 1G
ethernet hard wired. And these results are 100% repeatable. I gave
up and am just running a tar via cron.

Finally found it. Path was wrong to the rsync script on the server. Fixed that and it ran so it seems there are many reasons you can get that error. But looks like another issue. The job is stil running after all night. I see the processes on both ends, connection is established over the network but the actual transfer seems not to work. Haven't looked far enough into that yet. Anyway, will look into that and start a new thread if need. thanks for the help to all on this one.

The windows/cygwin version could be a problem. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] Chinese Characters Breaking backups
Hi Everyone, we are running BackupPC 3.1.0 in our Shanghai office and for every backup we are receiving the following type of error "Remote[2]: file has vanished: S/system32/D:/Filesystem/profiles//tool materials/??.xls" The file has not actually vanished as the server is never turned off, after checking the file it contains Chinese characters in its name which i believe is causing the errors. Our BackupPC server is running on FreeBSD 7.0 and we are backing up from a Windows Server 2003 machine using rsync. Is there anyway make BackupPC compatible with Chinese characters? Or is my problem something different entirely?

With sMB it is possible to enable large file support with lfs option in SMB mount fstab line Anyway in my case i don´t use SAMBA and I have enabled large file support in EXT3. EXT3 is where no-backup data is stored. Backup data is stored through NFS in a NAS formatted in EXT3. thanks - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
