[BackupPC-users] Question on using NAS for Pool
I searched the archives for using a Synology but haven't found the answer. I have a Synology RS815 that I want to use as my storage unit while running Backuppc on aanother LINUX Server. Since all of the data, logs and config files are in /var/lib/backuppc on the server running backuppc how does on change that to an NFS mount? Pointers to a how-to for this would be great.

[BackupPC-users] Configuration parameters for ubuntu client

Re: [BackupPC-users] Bare metal restore
I would like to just clarify why I do it this way. When I first took this job we did just that. get out the OS disks, rebuild the File Systems, then do a restore from the tapes. It took us an entire day. I also had to rebuild all of my user accounts and printers and shares as the process they had been using called for that. I then used the restore process in the backup software and it went to a two hour job. Also with the ever changing hard drive sizes I could take any new drive that inevitably was much larger than the one that went belly up this software repartioned the drive accordingly for me. Also it essentially is using Tar so in a pinch I could just use tar to read a tape if I wanted. So the driving factor here was my time. Instead of doing all of that work, I could just swap out the drive, insert the media and let it roll. During that time I could do other things that came up. The end result also was peace of mind when a disaster happened. Again this works for me as my systems are non RAID, one drive suystems that could live quite well in a 2gb drive enviroment, but today I can't do that. Sometimes spending a little money up front (in my case $200 a server) and then reaoing the benefit of time and sanity in the other end.

So with that you would restore with BackupEdge and then go into your BackuPC repository to see what is outdated. Much quicker in my setup. Your pay back may be different.

[BackupPC-users] Excluding Directories
In checking my logs on my new installation I see that /proc is being
backed up while I have it in the Exclude portion of the config. I had it
in that section as /proc and as ./proc and both of these continue to be
backed up each night causing me a ton of error messages.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'./proc' = [
''
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
Is this correct or is this
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/proc' = [
''
]
};
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
The TarShareName is set to / and the directory in question is /proc

Neither! This really confused me for ages. The share needs to be in
the

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/' = [

};
As for the ./ or /, I always get there by trial and error if it is not

If you are using the web interface, the share name should be in the

Re: [BackupPC-users] Excluding Directories
Bingo That is it. I was looking at the source and was wondering why was
/proc pointing to blank brackets. I added it and now it is point to the
directory. It looks like it is a Variable (which is probably called a
key) and then you add the value of that variable. I guess like the
Windows Registry. Looking at the documentation it started to make sense.
Clear as mud now. ;-)

In my experience, the web interface doesn't have a bug, it is just not
very intuitive!
Try putting / in the New Key box, and click Add. Then put /proc in the
box next to the Insert Delete buttons, and click Save.
Then look at the config file again, and see if it has worked. It does
for me.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Best way to backup Windows clients?
Kris, In my setup I would have loved to just use the mounts but security issues here put a stop to that so I had to go to rsync. That has worked on my Windows XP and Server 2003 machines but I am having issues with my Server 2008 machines but that may be another firewall and security issue. I am by no means a Guru with this stuff but the rsync on the Windows machines was a breeze to install and configure even for me (a windows challenged person). The only thing I do notice is that when I am on my laptop which is using rsync under XP , I do get some performance issues at the start but my laptop is not on the network all the time and I haven't tuned the backup schedule to only do this say between certain hours.

Kris Lou k...@themusiclink.net 5/6/2010 11:51 AM Hey people, I'm wondering what the preferred method is to backing up Windows clients, especially in terms of performance. Currently, I'm simply mounting windows drives via SMB/autofs, and running rsync over that. I like it because I don't have to install any additional software on the clients. But I know/read that a lot of people run Cygwin and rsync directly. What are the advantages of that?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008
I verified that rsyncd is running on the server but I am getting Inet Connection refused which probably means there is a firewall issue. I can ping the server from the BackupPC server but that only means the server is live and ICMP packets are getting to the server. I have to go through two firewalls to get to this server and I don't control them so it must be that something is dropping packets or refusing packets. Thanks for the info. John J.

See the docs for $Conf{PingPath}. You could just set it to /bin/true
unless it takes too long for a failed connection to time out when the
host is really down.

[BackupPC-users] Installing on Red Hat Enterprise
I am trying to get BackupPC installed on Red Hat Enterprise. I downloaded the latest file from sourceforge BackupPC-3.2.0beta1.tar.gz Following the directions in the documents I ran perl configure.pl I used all of the default settings. When I was finished I then copied the linux-backuppc file from the init.d directory to /etc/init.d. I copied the BackupPC.conf file from the httpd directory of the src to /etc/httpd/conf.d. I edited the BackupPC.conf file (in /etc/httpd/conf.d) so the directory portion points to /usr/local/BackupPC When I try httpd://localhost/BackupPC I get challenged for a username and password and this will read the .htaccess file I created but then I get nothing. I edited the hosts file in /etc/BackupPC for the two hosts I am starting with also. This is a umpteenth time I have tried this install. I have asked previous users I had contact with and they tell me that the BackupPC should be getting installed in /usr/share/BackupPC and that the programs live at an sbin directory. This sbin directory never gets created? Is there another tar ball I need to start with for Red Hat, or some src files I should be using. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. TIF John J.

I installed the epel repository but now I get this when I try to do a yum install BackupPC Transaction Check Error: file /etc/BackupPC/config.pl from install of BackupPC-3.1.0-5.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package backuppc_community-3.2.0beta0-1.rhel5.noarch file /etc/BackupPC/hosts from install of BackupPC-3.1.0-5.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package backuppc_community-3.2.0beta0-1.rhel5.noarch file /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf from install of BackupPC-3.1.0-5.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package backuppc_community-3.2.0beta0-1.rhel5.noarch file /etc/rc.d/init.d/backuppc from install of BackupPC-3.1.0-5.el5.noarch conflicts with file from package backuppc_community-3.2.0beta0-1.rhel5.noarch Where does yum keep this stuff. I did a yum remove BackupPC and it seemed to remove the stuff from my attempt to install the Beta copy. Somewhere it has this stuff in a file but I have searched the system and can't find any remnants of the failed attempts. Sorry to be a blockhead on this. John J.

Thanks to all of your help. I have it installed and working. John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia Remember!

Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com 3/26/2010 1:51 PM Yum doesn't track things directly - it is mostly a wrapper around rpm that handles the listed dependencies for you. I'd try a 'yum remove backuppc_community' first, then re-install whichever version you want. I didn't realize you had a packaged version already. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[BackupPC-users] Install issues BackupPC on RHEL5
I am trying to get BackupPC installed correctly on RHEL 5. The install proceeds just fine without errors but the Apache side was not installed properly. The httpd.conf does not include the proper information so it is not pointing to the correct directory structure and the authentication is not correct. Has anyone on the list got this working properly on Red Hat? I am using the latest version 3.2.0 beta1. TIA John J. Boris, Sr. JEN-A-SyS Administrator Archdiocese of Philadelphia Remember!

Les,
Thanks. I stumbled upon the issue and got it working. I did find that

Am I missing something in the configuration
You need to configure your web server to require authentication for
that
location and log in as someone in $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}.
