[BackupPC-users] get host by script

[higuita]

Hi

I want to backup some cluster that needs a script to know what
machine is the master. So this mean that i can not use the
ClientNameAlias directly, but i'm using it to define the cluster name
so i can use more freedom for the backup name.

As backuppc uses the netbios if the dns fails, I'm trying to
"abuse" the NmbLookupFindHostCmd and by running manually i can see it is
working... the problem is that via backuppc, it then tried to do the
reverse NmbLookup for that IP and of course, it fails. As the $host in
NmbLookupCmd is the IP, i can not know what cluster it should return for
the reverse lookup. So the end result is the error:

"Dump failed: host clusterA has mismatching netbios name"

So is there any workaround for this? What other people that
need to get the host by a script do?

@Craig Barratt: How about adding a option to disable the
reverse netbios lookup?

Thanks
Higuita

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Ah, I didn't update to 4.1.1, especially since If found the problem I didn't 
want to change anything until I had it resolved. LOL

I also saw reference to creating a file in /etc/tmpfiles.d/BackupPC.conf 
containing one line:
D /var/run/BackupPC 0775 root backuppc

This supposedly creates the file at a more "system" level before the script 
runs. They suggested doing this instead of having your startup script create 
it, but I don't know which is better.

Thanks for the reply!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Craig Barratt]

Steve,

In 4.1.1 I added this directive to the systemd backuppc.service file:

RuntimeDirectory=BackupPC

which creates the /var/run/BackupPC directory just before it starts
BackupPC.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Looked at the code, ${RunDir} is the location, and its s a directory not a file.

Not sure why it couldn't be created, but I did so manually, changed ownership 
to backuppc and it works.

Still don't know why it went wrong...

[BackupPC-users] Cannot create /var/run/BackupPC ??

[Steve Palm]

Hello,

I had a hard server crash, seems a RAM module went bad. After diagnosing and 
getting it back up and running, BackupPC will no longer start. I simply get:

systemd[1]: Starting SYSV: Starts and stops the BackupPC server...
runuser[6605]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session opened for user backuppc by 
(uid=0)
backuppc[6604]: Starting BackupPC: 2017-04-12 14:32:20 Can't create 
/var/run/BackupPC... quitting
runuser[6605]: pam_unix(runuser:session): session closed for user backuppc
backuppc[6604]: [FAILED]
systemd[1]: backuppc.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
systemd[1]: Failed to start SYSV: Starts and stops the BackupPC server.
systemd[1]: Unit backuppc.service entered failed state.
systemd[1]: backuppc.service failed.

I am puzzled because I hadn't changed anything configuration-wise, system or 
BackupPC, so I don't know why it won't start all of a sudden.

I can manually (as root) touch /var/run/BackupPC without issue, so I am 
perplexed as to where to look from here.

Any ideas?

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. If you want to exclude those
directories everywhere, the exclude

$Conf {BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/cache',
'/Cache',
'/.cache',
'/.Cache',
],
};

would work, ***however***, if you have more keys, for example

'/home/sorin' => [
'/Videos',
'/ownCloud',
],

you would need to copy the cache-related excludes into that also, i.e.

'/home/sorin' => [
'/Videos',
'/ownCloud',
'/cache',
'/Cache',
'/.cache',
'/.Cache',
],

because the '*' excludes *don't apply* for shares with a specific exclude,
as I tried to explain above.

Hope that makes it clearer.

Regards,
Holger

Can you do a systemctl status while running with forking? Are additional
processes spawned?

Hmm... nothing jumping out at me there... I don't use SCGI so I'm not

Now one thing to consider is that when systemd runs a process it's not in a
shell and doesn't get a standard environment... Are there any environment
variables that need to be defined?

[BackupPC-users] SCGI + systemd Problem

[Nicholas Hall]

Hi,

I provisioned a new backuppc server (built from git tag 4.1.1) on Debian
8.  I'm using the systemd unit file for starting the BackupPC daemon.

Problem is the SCGI listener doesn't respond when BackupPC is started via
systemctl.  Any thoughts?

Below you will find the failure case via systemd, and details, followed by
a working case where I start the daemon manually.  I use curl to validate
if the SCGI listener is responding to requests on localhost.


Relevant config bit:
# grep {SCGIServerPort} /etc/BackupPC/config.pl
$Conf{SCGIServerPort} = 7000;

Startup via systemctl (FAILURE CASE):
# systemctl start backuppc
# ps ax | grep BackupPC
 2156 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC
 2158 ?SN 0:00 /usr/bin/perl
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI
 2159 ?SN 0:00 /usr/bin/perl
