I happen to have used BackupPC with ext4, xfs, and btrfs.  ext4 (unlike 
ext2 and ext3) does indeed have a way to extend the number of inodes 
beyond the static allocation.  XFS, elegant and well designed, gave me 
no end of trouble, frankly.  Your mileage may vary, but on more than one 
occasion, I found subtle corruption for unknown reasons had caused weird 
ripple effects throughout the file system.  btrfs has, perhaps 
ironically, proven the most reliable of the three.  Again, your mileage 
may vary, and while I can go into considerable detail about my own 
experiences and testing, they are limited in scope and nature.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't switch users to BackupPC in terminal?

[Robert Trevellyan]

That's actually a slightly different error (io.c(1556) instead of
io.c(629)). It's possible that browsing the source code of io.c would offer
a clue, but it's a pretty generic error, so it's probably time to enable
verbose logging on both ends and do some proper debugging. I'd do that by
running rsync at the command-line.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't switch users to BackupPC in terminal?

I've set the timeout on my backuppc server to 604800 which is one week. One of 
my clients has just completed its first full backup. However, my other clients 
are still receiving the same rysnc error as before...

According to the man pages, the ConnectTimeout and ServerAlive settings only 
apply to ssh_config, i.e. the BPC end, whereas the other settings only apply to 
sshd_config, i.e. the host you are trying to backup.

Maybe the client has its own firewall?

The BPC timeout setting is ClientTimeout on the Backup Settings page. For SSH 
you would have to delve into /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config. Look for 
ConnectionTimeout, ClientAliveInterval, ClientAliveCountMax and 
ServerAliveInterval. More details via man ssh_config and man sshd_config.

Why dont you use

ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@backuppc-client

(execute this as root user on the backuppc server!)

According to the man pages, the ConnectTimeout and ServerAlive settings
only apply to ssh_config, i.e. the BPC end, whereas the other settings only
apply to sshd_config, i.e. the host you are trying to backup.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't switch users to BackupPC in terminal?

[Marc Gilliatt]

Thank you for the quick response.


Do I have to increase the SSH timeout on my backuppc server or my client or 
both?


I've checked the SSH timeout on my backuppc server, its commented out, should I 
uncomment it and set it?

Maybe the client has its own firewall?

The BPC timeout setting is ClientTimeout on the Backup Settings page. For SSH 
you would have to delve into /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config. Look for 
ConnectionTimeout, ClientAliveInterval, ClientAliveCountMax and 
ServerAliveInterval. More details via man ssh_config and man sshd_config.

Perhaps the client's firewall is blocking pings.

And what do you have set for timeout - is it 600 seconds? Or perhaps the SSH 
connection is timing out.

I don't see any copy command from the backuppc server to the client here?

Why dont you use

ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@backuppc-client

(execute this as root user on the backuppc server!)

[BackupPC-users] Problems with backups

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

All,



BackupPC recently is not keeping partial backups when the network gets
disconnected, etc.   I am seeing this in the log files.



2018-03-12 06:26:44 full backup started for directory c-drive

2018-03-12 09:14:05 full backup 0 complete, 32549 files, 68399765172 bytes,
39 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 39 other)

2018-03-12 09:14:05 removing full backup 0

2018-03-12 19:22:30 full backup started for directory c-drive

2018-03-12 21:34:36 full backup 0 complete, 32603 files, 68371945446 bytes,
37 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 37 other)

2018-03-12 21:34:36 removing full backup 0

2018-03-13 02:47:14 full backup started for directory c-drive

2018-03-13 04:43:15 full backup 0 complete, 32599 files, 68405966752 bytes,
50 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 50 other)

2018-03-13 04:43:15 removing full backup 0



Any idea how to change it so it keeps at least a partial backups instead of
deleting it.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Can't switch users to BackupPC in terminal?

[Marc Gilliatt]

Our servers our on our internal LAN, so I don't think it's our firewall. I used 
BackupPC v3 in the past, and I upgraded to BackupPC v4. I had issues with the 
upgrade and I had to completely build my backuppc server again. However, I had 
no issue with BackupPC v3, I never received that rsync error before until now. 
When I go into each of my client's page in the GUI, it says its been 
successfully pinged.


I'm not sure on how to find out about the timeout and setting it greater, or 
the SSH connection time sorry?

Perhaps the client's firewall is blocking pings.

And what do you have set for timeout - is it 600 seconds? Or perhaps the SSH 
connection is timing out.

Why dont you use

ssh-copy-id -i /var/lib/backuppc/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@backuppc-client

(execute this as root user on the backuppc server!)
