Re: [BackupPC-users] Anyone get rsyncd to work on Windows Server 2008

Did I get that right? -- /Sorin Yes. You create a Deltacopy service which is simply a Rsyncd running on port 873 (standard). You connect with Backuppc with rsyncd config. After you created the deltacopy service, you create a virtual directory: e.g. cDRIVE and fill in the path and the credentials. this cDRIVE is what you use in backuppc as Rsyncshare name. The easy part is that you can copy the windows folder to another client, register the service and you're good.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up a laptop via DHCP
My home network is basically a windows Workgroup and I was planning on access my laptops via smb. From my backuppc server I can see both laptops on the workgroup. Any help, guidance would be much appreciated. The easiest thing I guess would be to: First: install Samba to be the WINS server for your network. (wins support = yes) check 7.3.3: http://oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch07_03.html (It's only a really short step from here to have samba also be the fileserver for your home network) 2d: Install DHCP3-server. There are a lot of examples but the essential is giving the wins server address with the dhcp lease. That way your windows desktops will always register their netbios name with the samba wins server and backuppc can query it as mentioned with the nmblookup command. As a side effect network browsing in windows will also speed up. If you don't want to install and configure this, you can always set the wins server manually in the advanced network settings in windows. Maybe it is possible to have Backuppc check with dns instead of netbios but that's still harder to configure in my opinion.

I backup Windows Vista without a problem with Deltacopy. I mainly followed

Thanks for the tips, Koen,
I followed all these instructions (at least I think I did ;-)), but my
problems were not related to excludes, I simply got no connection to the
shares:
@ERROR: chdir failed, so maybe a permission denied error due to ACL or
similar.
Unfortunately I had no time to investigate any further (the workstation
is down right now so I can't provide any logs).
Should I use CYGWIN=ntsec tty with DeltaCopy, too?
= Nope. You only need to be sure after registering the Deltacopy service
that it actually runs correctly.
I register the service as administrator (Gives error, but it shows up in
Services). Then I go the services.msc and change it from This account
(administrator) to Local System Account. If it starts then without an error
it's ok.
Whatever virtual directory I defined didn't show up when I connected
(rsync -av u...@host::), only the standard share Backup was displayed.
Are you running the 64bit version?
Bernhard
= Next I added a directory to backup in Deltacopy with name cDRIVE and path
c:\
= Use authentication: e.g backupuser and password
= In the BackupPC config: Xfer
RsyncShareName: cDRIVE
RsyncdUsername: backupuser
RsyncdPasswd: password
That it. I can copy the Deltacopy folder after this configuration to any pc.
I only need to register the service again. You could always add multiple
backup directories in Deltacopy if you need.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup remote ftp server (internet site)
You can't directly backup an ftp host.
You could:
1) do a pre-backup script to mount the ftp site using your favorite method,
and a post-backup script to dismount it. (Dan answered this to me some time
ago)
2) Or via cron you could do wget and backup the local folder with backuppc
(Dan doing it by cron is a hack and will likely cause you to have failed
backups if a minor change is made. you should use the pre and post backup
commands to handle this. you could mirror the whole ftp with wget or
something to a local directory, then backup that directory, but still you
should do it with a pre backup script, not with cron)

Hi all,
i've installed BackupPC 3.2.0.
It works very well!
I'm trying to do a remote ftp server backup.
The ftp server is a internet site; i've ftp access to manage all site files.
My aim is to backup this site.
So, i create a new host, and set:
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} - the full ftp address
$Conf{XferMethod} - FTP
$Conf{FtpShareName} - tryed both nothing and /htdocs (it's a web
site, and this it it's root).
$Conf{FtpUserName} - ftp host username
$Conf{FtpPasswd} - ftp host password
but, if i try to run a full backup, it does not run with this error:
Last error is xfer start failed: Can't open connection to : Invalid
argument.
Any suggets/tips?
Thanks!
Regards

the comments from the default config.pl file regarding XferMethod FTP (or
send
them to me off-list), then I could try to guess what might be wrong (do you
set the target address via ClientNameAlias? What format is it supposed to be
in? What is the FtpShareName supposed to look like?). Does the XferLOG give
any further hints? Can you increase the XferLogLevel? Since not much is
happening, you might get something interesting from there ...

Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc CGI Interface not working for me
You're problem is not really clear but this works for me. I'm not sure what you need to do for Sid, but for Debian Etch, Apache2 I did this. I'm not an apache expert.

I understand something could be broken with Sid on the computer I'm using. However, the other computer I'm using also uses Sid. This makes me thinks a couple of things: 1.

I don't know much about backuppc. I didn't know that understanding apache was a requirement for it. I was hoping for the tutorials and documentation on backuppc to cover more of these things in detail. Because I couldn't find a lot of information, I came here. If things don't start working soon, I'll figure something out myself. However, I think I'll post here for the next while. I turned off the firewall to test backuppc CGI.

Re: [BackupPC-users] cloning the pool
If you want an idea what isn't possible; A year ago I tried copying a much pool much smaller too an USB disk than my current (see lower), using a Xeon 2.8 GHz/1 MB with 2 GB DDR and it ran out of memory copying via rsync -H Somewhere in the mailing is other information. Someone said he does an rsync on a 2million file pool worked perfectly for him with 2 GB of memory. Not for me. Now I stop backuppc at night and do: dd if=/dev/sda5 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4K It works perfectly. I managed to copy this pool back to another server with much bigger raid1 array formatted ext3 with same blocksize. And it works with a problem afterwards afaik. Pool is 235.52GB comprising 718235 files and 4369 directories (as of 19/3 04:12), Pool hashing gives 121 repeated files with longest chain 11, Nightly cleanup removed 6736 files of size 5.27GB (around 19/3 04:12), Pool file system was recently at 61% (19/3 10:02), today's max is 61% (19/3 04:00) and yesterday's max was 61%.

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the value to 144000 for this client and will wait another day (or
two).
Maybe it hangs on a specific file? I hope changing the value worked.
Anyway, thx :)

signal ALRM is always caused by BackupPC aborting the backup after
$Conf{ClientTimeout} has passed without BackupPC detecting any progress. In
the case of rsync(d), this needs to account for the complete backup due to
the
way it is implemented (for tar type backups, I believe it is only the
duration
of the longest file transfer). The default value is 72000 seconds == 20
hours.
Raise $Conf{ClientTimeout} to a value that will allow your backup to
complete.
A too high value has the drawback of not detecting stuck backups for that
amount of time. This is nothing to worry about for your first backup.
Perhaps
just add a '0' and change the value back after the first backup has
successfully completed. Future rsync(d) backups should hopefully complete
significantly faster.

I'm not sure why you repeatedly get a partial dump 0 though instead of the
transfer restarting from the point it was originally interrupted (using the
previous partial as reference). That would allow the backup to eventually
complete even without increasing ClientTimeout, but it does not seem to be
happening in your case.

Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to backup remote ftp server?

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_nighlty fails to start
Ok. Another shorter post about this problem (more info 7/03 - BackupPC_nightly not running) BackupPC_nightly doens't run anymore. Backuppc also doens't start the mail alert system since it seems to start after a succesfull nightly cleanup. The only thing I think which might disrupt this is a cron.daily that start at 9.30 pm stops backuppc, unmount the partition and does a dd to a seperate usb disk. Around 2.30 am, it's ok. Partition is mounted and backuppc started. Backuppc nightly has run in this configuration without problems for a few months (dd stopping at the same hour). And running manually: su backupppc ./BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run works perfectly (and sends a mail when finished) I know I could make a cron.weekly or something to manually start it. But I'd like to find the problem that causes this... Any ideas? Things I could check? Thanks. Koen Linders - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_nightly not running
First: i'm no linux pro. I started working with my first linux +-14 months ago. And i'm still learning a lot (So many possible things i want to try (backupping remote sites!) Second: BackupPC is great. --- Main problem: backuppc_nightly not running Backuppc is running on a samba PDC with DHCP / WINS / DDNS running (Debian Etch). I will be migrating BackupPC to another server as soon as possible, not completely sure how, but that's another story for later. There is a problem with backupPC_nightly not running for some time now (and server running out of diskspace). And no mails since 26/1 either. Something must have happened/changed one of those days. I can't recall what i was doing those days. Maybe setting up the DDNS... Backuppc is running as backuppc user. Daily I make a backup of the backuppc partition to an external disk at 22:00. Around 3 a.m. I receive an e-mail with a summary. /etc/cron.daily/dd_disk: Stopping backuppc: ok. Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd. umount: /dev/sdb1: not mounted 110742061+1 records in 110742061+1 records out 453599483904 bytes (454 GB) copied, 17776.4 seconds, 25.5 MB/s real296m16.430s user0m37.190s sys 41m33.888s Starting backuppc: ok. Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd. It seems that 28/1 was the last time it ran. This morning i started the process with: su backupppc ./BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run and it is finished after 4 hours. (While typing this, look below about emails, now i get a mail) BackupPC_nightly starts the mailing it seems. 450 GB HD (raid 5), i had 66 GB free and i'm up to 180 GB :) One of the reasons, it's cleaning that much, i guess, is because i have been changing the amount of full backups to keep last 1.5 month, since diskspace was slowly running out. Right now i have 38 WinXP hosts, from which i do a full back keeping 1, 2 and 4 weeks old + 7 incrementals. (FullKeepCnt 2 1) Pool is steady at 130 GB. Profiles are normally between 1-3 GB big.

Onderwerp: [BackupPC-users] trying to understand Conf{FullKeepCnt}
Last night backuppc was a hero.
We had a dell sata raid card drop an array, just 'cause :P
anyway it was 11pm night last night restoring from backuppc (which
went very nicely) after ssh keys were restored and such ;)
anyway..
I noticed that the backups were only two weeks, and in reading in the
manual how to increase the retention time.. I quickly became confused..
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [4, 2, 3];
this looks like (by the explanation) that this would be 16 weeks of
backups, or 4 months.. would doubling that give it 8 months? and
tripling it be a year?
I am assuming it will still do nightly incrementals?
I am not sure if it is confusing or I am tired.. but either way I
would like to get an answer ;)
Thanks in advance,

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_tarPCCopy hard link error
Hello, system info: Backuppc v.3 (latest stable via deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free) Debian Etch Tar v. 1.60 I'm trying to backup my cpool and pc's to an external disk attached to the same computer. Both are: ext3 1) Rsync -avHh for cpool works. Btw, i'm pretty sure this is the correct way for backup of the pool. Can someone confirm this? Or reply how you backup the backuppc data? I want a backup which i could soft-link the backuppc data folder to so everything keeps working in case of an emergency. I can't test it yet since BackupPC_tarPCCopy gives errors. 2)i can't find much info on the internet about the BackupPC_tarPCCopy errors. Atleast i hope i didn't miss a very obvious post/faq somewhere... As backuppc user using: e.g. for only one computer (50+ computer are being fully backupped) BackupPC_tarPCCopy /var/lib/backuppc/pc/mpi021 | (cd /backups/backuppc/pc/mpi021 tar xPf -) gives something like this: tar: ./mpi021/7/fC$/fDocuments and Settings/fAdministrator/fMijn documenten/fHPLJ24x0/ftoolbox/attrib: Cannot hard link to `../cpool/d/b/1/db10c689101ef0b373742b62b7b6f532': No such file or directory backuppc has write rights as owner for the target directory: drwxr-x--- 11 backuppc backuppc 4096 2007-10-18 14:31 mpi021 /var/lib/backuppc is soft-linked to another directory but if i try that i get: Argument /data/backuppc/pc/mpi021 must be an absolute path starting with /var/lib/backuppc i'm not really sure what goes wrong. I found some info about the leading / with cpool. But that part seems ok; hence the usage of P for the tar command. Btw, this is a really great program.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_tarPCCopy hard link error
Pool is about 108 GB. I already saw the system go down to a very very slow pace when trying the rsync everything. The backuppc folder is on the same partition as my samba shares so i rather not unmount it every night for backups. It depends how long it takes to backup 250-350 GB with dd.

How much data do you have? you'll find that rsync has awful memory requirements once you start getting millions of files you're trying to sync. enough to crush your box. If you have the backuppc data pool mounted on a separate partition; your best bet is likely to be to shut down backuppc, unmount the partition, and copy it with dd. failing that, shut down backuppc (so the disk and system are quiesced), and copy the data pool with tar. I spent a lot of time trying to archive the data pool with tar, using an LVM snapshot. I found that the performance was so bad that it took 4x as long as just quiescing the disk and backing it up without the snapshot. (I suspect mostly due to the backups going on while the archive was working; this destroyed the memory caches in addition to causing many more disk head seeks). It was far better to just quiesce the system and archive it with tar, then start it back up again. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems?
