Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up /home from a cPanel Server

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

I am wondering it SELinux might be affecting the backup.  On the CPanel
server have you tried running

setenforce 0

Then try another backup and see if anything changes.   If not, then you
can turn it back on with

setenforce 1

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Backing up /home from a cPanel Server

My backuppc application is running without issues.

I have recently added a new server to be backed up via Backuppc.  This new
server is a cPanel server.  All my other servers on backuppc are not
cPanel.

I am able to connect and able to backup all of the system files on the new
server, etc, but it will not backup the contents of /home

Here are the contents of the log file:

2020-02-20 13:35:21 incr backup started back to 2020-02-20 10:50:36
(backup
#2) for directory /
2020-02-20 13:38:34 incr backup started back to 2020-02-20 10:50:36
(backup
#2) for directory /home/
2020-02-20 13:38:34 incr backup 3 complete, 37 files, 2547998 bytes, 438
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 438 other)

I am using rsync to do the backup.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Glad you got it working.  Once I saw Marki’s reply, I knew he probably had
the correct solution.

Gladly.

But this has nothing to do with "routing".
So "freenas" even resolves to a different IP? I believe even if it resolved
to the provided IP, SSH might still make a difference between using the
hostname and the IP, so there you go ;)

Thanks for helping me figure out where the problem was! I appreciate it!

 Try sshing into the client using both please. Even though it's the
 same host, ssh doesn't treat it as such automatically I guess.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Cant Rsync between Freenass and Win10

Dan,



I have you tried using DeltaCopy instead?  I don’t encrypt my backups with
SSH, and it has worked perfect for me on the clients.

Dear all,



I have been trying many things (during 2 weeks now) to make it works
with no success so I wish to get some help here.

My setup is the following :

A freeNass11.2-u3 with a jail running Backuppc, for this I follow the
well written tutorial by JM BARDOU here :
https://www.ixsystems.com/community/threads/step-by-step-guide-for-backuppc-4-in-a-jail-on-freenas.74080/



>From the Win10 side, I installed rsyncd, setup config and secret file
add rules to firewall as described in this other tutorial
https://www.drivemeca.com/backuppc-client/

Pings works well in each direction.

But can't manage to make it works. Always get this error:



019-04-13 10:05:21 Started full backup on 192.168.8.100
 (pid=39826,

BackupPC recently is not keeping partial backups when the network gets

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

[BackupPC-users] Problems with BackupPC

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

All,



We have been using BackupPC for quite a while and find it very useful.  We
had a failure of our NAS and unfortunately lost our backups.  We rebuilt
the array and setup the backups again, which seem to be working.  Some
clients, including my own machine are not getting backed up.  The web
interface is showing the Last attempt as “Done”, but no files are saved.
When it is backing up, I can see files that it is backing up.   For some
reason it is not even keeping a partial backup.   I am using rsyncd with
the following settings.  Any ideas?



[root@backuppc pc]# cat l-jwest17b.corpnet.com.pl

[BackupPC-users] Problems with BackupPC - RSync

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

All,



I have been using rsync to backup my windows workstations.  I have some
machines that are not backing up, even though I can manually rsync with
their machine from the BackupPC server.  BackupPC tries to backup, but
doesn’t even save a partial backup if it gets disconnected.   Is there some
way to change this?

you need to assign to the correct variable - it's %Conf ... %conf is
simply a different (unused) variable. The assignment itself is valid, it
just doesn't do what you want.

Your conclusion is incorrect. It needed a capital C. The array form is
optional. See the comments in config.pl.

> $Conf{RsyncShareName} = [

That works, as would have

  $Conf {RsyncShareName} = 'c-drive';

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up Windows using rsync

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

Les,

Thanks!  I didn't realize you could edit the individual configs from the web
interface.  The syntax was wrong and it is working now.   The following is
what works.  The RsyncShareName needed [ ]

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = 8;
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
  'c-drive'
];

I mean the configuration editor for the host:
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/BackupPC-4.1.1.html#Configuration-and-Host-Editor

It should parse things the same way as the running system.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up Windows using rsync

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

This is what I am seeing from the web interface.

Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 9/19 09:28.
Last error is "Unknown module '/'".
Pings to l-jwest17b.corpnet.com have succeeded 50 consecutive times.

I wonder why it would not parse the sharename correctly.  I believe the
syntax is correct.

What do you see if you look at it in the web configuration interface
for that host?   If it is still trying to access '/' it is not parsing
your sharename the way you expect.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up Windows using rsync

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

I am using a pl config file just for my host which has the following in it
now.

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';
$conf{RsyncShareName} = 'c-drive';
$Conf{FullAgeMax} = '8';
$Conf{RsyncdUserName} = 'backup';
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = 'backup';

I created a user / pass combination to see if that would help, but it
didn't.  I also changed the RsyncShareName to see if that would help, but it
didn't.

Something is wrong in your config.  Backuppc thinks you have
$conf{RsyncShareName} = '/';   (the default).
Are you using the web interface to make and view the config changes for this
host?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up Windows using rsync

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

Changing the method to rsyncd made some progress.  It now connects on port
873.  I am now getting this error



A command for l-jwest17b.corpnet.com is on the command queue (will run
soon).

Last status is state "idle" (backup failed) as of 9/19 08:56.

Last error is "Unknown module '/'".

Pings to l-jwest17b.corpnet.com have succeeded 43 consecutive times



My config is now



[root@backuppc pc]# vi l-jwest17b.corpnet.com.pl

$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = 873;

$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'l-jwest17b.corpnet.com';

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsyncd';

$conf{RsyncShareName} = 'C';

$Conf{FullAgeMax} = '8';

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = 'backuppc $host $rsyncPath $argList+';

$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host $rsyncPath
$argList+';

If you are running a standalone rsync daemon on the target system, use
rsyncd as the xfermethod instead of rsync.



> $conf{RsyncShareName} = 'C';



And the sharename(s) should match the 'modules' you configured in your
rsyncd.conf.

Yes,



I am looking for a way that is does not connect on port 22, but instead
connects to port 873 and just uses rsync to do the transfer.  My machine
has rsync running and listening on port 873

[BackupPC-users] Trying to exclude a directory

[Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users]

All,



I have a backup which backs up the following directories on all my Windows
computers



C:\Users



And



C:\ProgramData



It seems to be working well, but a couple of us have Windows 10 machines
with the Unix tools installed and the backups always hang here and fail.



C:/Users/jeffrey.west/AppData/Local/lxss/rootfs/lib/xtables/libxt_pkttype.so



I was wondering if there was any way to completely exclude the following
directory either using a custom pl file or adding the following to the
exclude in the main config.pl file.



$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

All,



Disregard this message.  I feel like an idiot!  I had created a host file
entry a while back to test and forgot to remove it.  Once I removed the
entry, everything is working properly.

All,



I am having a major problem with BackupPC.  It is not resolving to the
proper IP address when trying to backup.   I am including my test below.
As you can see my proper IP address at this moment is 192.168.30.15.  When
I ssh into the BackuPC box and do a nslookup, I also get that IP address,
but when I run the BackupPC_dump command it resolves to 192.168.20.78.
Any idea why this is occurring?

Craig,



Thank you so much!  That worked.  I guess leaving out the ‘C$’ => was
causing the issue for me.

Try this.

$Conf{SmbShareName} = [ 'C$' ];

$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {

  'C$' => [

'/Users',

'/ProgramData'

  ]

};
