[BackupPC-users] Every backup I do gets error BackupPC_link got error -3 when calling MakeFileLink
Hello, Hopefully someone can help me out with this. I've looked this error up and came across this old posting: http://adsm.org/lists/html/BackupPC-users/2009-08/msg00115.html However there was no luck there as it seems my issue may be different. What I've observed is that I receive this error in the log file for every host I backup. After some investigation I believe this to be related to symbolic links. When I check the symbolic links are not in the f directories. Here is an example: 2014-09-25 08:47:10 BackupPC_link got error -3 when calling MakeFileLink(/var/lib/backuppc/pc/pfy.res.oicr.on.ca/0/f%2f/fsbin/flvchange, adcd7bc3e2583e93ed4e4a0e7ae055d1, 1) Checking for the file, it is not there. backuppc@backstage:~/pc/pfy.res.oicr.on.ca/0/f%2f/fsbin$ ls -lh | grep change backuppc@backstage:~/pc/pfy.res.oicr.on.ca/0/f%2f/fsbin$ and checking on the host it's a symbolic link pfy:/sbin $ ls -lh | grep change lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 27 2014 lvchange - lvm when I check in the backuppc webpage for the host, and browse directory 'sbin' I don't see this symbolic link there, however I do see other 'symlinks' mentioned. (For example /sbin/stop) Here is the log file for those two: backuppc@backstage:~/pc/pfy.res.oicr.on.ca$ BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.0.z | grep sbin/stop pool l 777 0/0 7 sbin/stop - initctl backuppc@backstage:~/pc/pfy.res.oicr.on.ca$ BackupPC_zcat XferLOG.0.z | grep sbin/lvchange create l 777 0/0 3 sbin/lvchange - lvm I checked the log and the xfer log for this host and its accurate to say that all the files that got the -3 error are all set to create instead of pool. This host was new and this was the first backup being done, so I would assume pool means that file already exists somewhere in its pool so it will just link to it for this host and l being symlink. So the problem here is why are new create for symbolic links failing?

[BackupPC-users] Advatage/s to running rsyncd vs rsync?

Well, be sure you grab your distribution's very recent bash security update if you are counting on being able to restrict the command you can execute over ssh. But other than that, I agree - using ssh is easier. You would have the option of making rsyncd 'read only' but then you couldn't do direct restores. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?

Personally, because I already use ssh, and key based authentication, it is much easier to run rsync over that, (ie, ports are open, firewall issues are already resolved, etc). However, rsyncd can be an advantage to reduce the overhead of encryption (if your backup client is very low powered/embedded device). Also, it will do a better job of restricting the commands that can be executed (ie, only files can be read/written, as opposed to any command, possibly even by-passing restricted commands you tried to configure if there is some bug in the way you have configured this etc). So, as always, there is more than one way to do this, and you can choose the solution that meets your individual needs, which may (will) vary from somebody else.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Mounting synology NAS breaks Backuppc
I suspect it has something to do with the way these smaller devices use SMB. They'll mount via NFS, but that's literally all they'll do is mount. Glad that fix worked. As soon as I see NAS in the title, my mind jumps to the nolock option. ~Phil On 9/25/2014 8:52 AM, Tom Fallon wrote: Thanks for the heads up Phil, think that did the trick!
