Re: [BackupPC-users] why total files != new files + existing files

[BackupPC-users] why total files != new files + existing files
hi i do not understand the cgi report of file counts. I have never total files = new files + existing files the cgi say that empty files are not counted in the new files so it should be less but here i have existing+new > total :) so i must miss something obvious on 4 weeks here is existing+new - total: 2 1 1 5 4 1 1 1 1 5 5 878 287 87 74 84 68 39 103 74 77 74 81 70 53 100 73 75 91 how can this be ? -- Cordialement, Ghislain -- Come build with us!

[BackupPC-users] adding default exclude list to all your share/host
hello,
I was searching for a way to add default exclude list to all my share
backuped. For this i wrote this little piece of code and just added a
do '/etc/Backuppc/defaultexclude';
in my backuped hosts config at the end. Of course this is not showing in
the cgi frontend.
Here is the code. I just wanted to share if this can help someone. It
seems to work for me (my perl skill is VERY low so be kind):
while ( my ($key,$value) = each(%{$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}}) ) {
push (@{$value}, '**/logs/**' );
push (@{$value}, '**/log/**' );
push (@{$value}, '**/cache/**' );
push (@{$value}, '**/tmp/**' );
push (@{$value}, '**/temp/**' );
push (@{$value}, '**/typo3temp/**' );
}
This of course can be used for default include. I just need to find a
way to prevent duplicate add but i do not know if rsync will be bothered
to have x time the same exclude in his list.

This information you can find in __TOPDIR__/pc/$host/backups. The DumpPostUserCmd is the right way. There are several variables you can take as parameter to your script.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Amount of time for full backups
Beth Morgan a écrit : Hi - I just started using BackupPC about 3 weeks ago. I'm using the default schedule, where I should have a full backup performed once a week. I have 5 servers backing up to this server. Before this, I used Legato and backed up to a tape jukebox. I used to think those backups were slow (sometimes up to 15 hours for a full backup), but now it's taking days (at 3 and counting for one server) to complete a full backup.

[BackupPC-users] limit restore to a share
Little change in the way you define it:
Use
$Conf{rsyncRestoreLimitToShare} = ('/var','/home');
and not
$Conf{rsyncRestoreLimitToShare} = ['/var','/home'];
i do not know the difference but it do not work with []

[BackupPC-users] limit restore to a share
I modified the rsync code to limit restore to a share:

< ## AQUEOS fin
you have to define in your host file this parameter:
$Conf{rsyncRestoreLimitToShare} = ['/var','/home'];
This way you should not be able to restore anyfiles outside of those
directories.
I am a bad coder so perhaps some here could help make this better and
do the same for the other backup method like tar etc...
legal boilerplate: any ownership of this wonderful piece code is gived
to craig so if by any chance he takes it into backup pc he has the right
on it ;)

Re: [BackupPC-users] Limiting restore operation to a share or sub directory
Without modifying the code you can't do that.
You could create two virtual hosts, one that can be direct
restored and the other that can't.
Craig
i was trying to change this file to add this:
/usr/local/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Rsync.pm
in the sub start after :
sub start
{
my($t) = @_;
my $bpc = $t->{bpc};
my $conf = $t->{conf};
my(@fileList, $rsyncClientCmd, $rsyncArgs, $logMsg,
$incrDate, $argList, $fioArgs);
#
# We add a slash to the share name we pass to rsync
#
($t->{shareNameSlash} = "$t->{shareName}/") =~ s{//+$}{/};
if ( $t->{type} eq "restore" ) {
$rsyncClientCmd = $conf->{RsyncClientRestoreCmd};
$rsyncArgs = $conf->{RsyncRestoreArgs};
i added this:
my $remoteDir =
"$t->{shareName}/$t->{pathHdrDest}";
$remoteDir =~ s#/\.\.#/#g;
$remoteDir =~ s{//+}{/}g;
if( defined @rsyncRestoreLimitToShare ){
my $aqflag =0;
foreach $aqshare ( @rsyncRestoreLimitToShare ){
if ( $remoteDir =~ /^$aqshare.*/ ) {
$aqflag = 1;
}
}
if( $aqflag == 0 ){
my $str = "Erreur vous devez restorer dans
$rsyncRestoreLimitToShare uniquement ". ":$conf->{RsyncdClientPort}:
$err\n";
$t->{XferLOG}->write(\$str);
$t->{hostError} = $err;
return;
}
}
but the code just fail and prevent the restoring in any case. Of course
i am not a dev so my perl is an 'cut and paste from how-to' type :(
Anyone would like to help ?
the goal is to verify that the restoredir start by one of the share we
want to limit to. The idea is to have in the config file:
$rsyncRestoreLimitToShare = [ '/var','/etc']; so backuppc does
not allow to restore anywere else.
Anyone interested to help ?

[BackupPC-users] Limiting restore operation to a share or sub directory
Hi,
I use backup pc to save virtualized guest. SSH runs on the host and
access
/vservers/server1
/vservers/server2
etc...
I use client $Conf{ClientNameAlias} to separate the acces but the
issue is that the restore command could be used to crunch any files on
the HOST. Is there any way to restrict the restore to a share ?
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd}
= '$sshPath -q -x -l root $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
Full command to run rsync on the client machine. The following
variables
are substituted at run-time:
$host host name being backed up
$hostIP host's IP address
$shareName share name to backup (ie: top-level directory path)
$rsyncPath same as $Conf{RsyncClientPath}
$sshPathsame as $Conf{SshPath}
$argListargument list, built from $Conf{RsyncArgs},
$shareName, $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} and $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}
i tried :
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -o CompressionLevel=0 -q -x
-l aqbackup $host $rsyncPath $Conf{RsyncArgs} /vservers/server2
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} $Conf{BackupFilesOnly}';
but it fails of course because it runs:
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -o CompressionLevel=0 -q -x -l backupuser myhost.com /usr/bin/sudo\ /usr/bin/rsync \$Conf\{RsyncArgs\} /vservers/server2 \$Conf\{BackupFilesExclude\} \$Conf\{BackupFilesOnly\}
Anyone as an ideas to secure this kind of setup or am i doomed to
install ssh on every guest ?
ps: $Conf{ClientNameAlias} is said to overwrite the real host name but
it is not escaped in the logs = information leak ;)

[BackupPC-users] backuppc 3.0 blackout
Hi,
I use a blackout like this:
# pas de backup sauf entre entre 1h et 6h
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin => 6.5,
hourEnd => 0.5,
weekDays => [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
},
];
so it should stop backups after 6h30 and start again when it hits 0h30 am
and in the /pc/hostname.pl i do :
do "/etc/BackupPC/blackout-1-6.pl";
but even with that i have the backuppc service that backup my host in
the middle of the day, the date of the server is ok. I restarted it
several time but it continue to launch backup in middle of the day. Any
idea of what is wrong here ?

[BackupPC-users] backup pc 3.0 do not want to limit the backup
Hello,
I have made a fresh install of backuppc 3.0. All seems ok but i have trouble backuping the hosts as backuppc ignore
the directory list i want to backup. The host file is :
-rw-r- 1 backuppc www-data 387 Feb 13 08:46
/etc/BackupPC/pc/myservername.pl
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/' => [
'/etc',
'/usr/local/etc'
]
};
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l aqbackup $host $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l aqbackup $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' => [
'/var/log',
'/proc'
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
when i do a ps i got:
/usr/bin/rsync --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D
--links
--hard-links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --ignore-times . /
so it tries to backup all the server and not only the part i want. Even changing the configuration in the
/etc/Backuppc/config.pl to put the same directories do not work. Any idea ?

[BackupPC-users] Virtual server backup
Hi,
I wanted to knwo what would be the best way in your opinion to backup
a bunch of virtual servers ?
For exemple i have servers in
/vserver/vserverhostname
i have the same configuration for all the vservers's backup and
ssh/rsync is only available from the main host. I wonder if i can use:
$Conf{RsyncShareName}
= ['/vserver/titi.com', '/vserver/tutu.com','/'];
on the main one
and use
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = mainhost.com;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/vserver/titi.com';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot','/var/spool/cron', '/usr/local/etc'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/proc','/dev', '/var/run',
'/var/log'];
and
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = mainhost.com;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/vserver/tutu.com';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot','/var/spool/cron', '/usr/local/etc'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/proc','/dev', '/var/run',
'/var/log'];
and on the main host:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/etc', '/boot','/var/spool/cron', '/usr/local/etc'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/proc','/dev', '/var/run',
'/var/log'];
this way it would seems that the servers will be backuped individualy each one
with a config file so i can give acces to the webadmin for those hosts and each
one acces the part it own securely from the others ??
Is it the good choice, any idea if this will work or if we can do better ?
