Re: [BackupPC-users] Real Time View of What Is Being Copied
Hi, Yes you could create several rsyncsharename sections for the different folders. Or you could explicit exclude some folders from 1 share and create a seperate share to create a backup. You can even create multiple 'hosts' with each it's own share to backup different shares. In that case you could use the ClientNameAlias to point them to the same server.

[BackupPC-users] Difference between BackupPC 4.4.0 data usage and disk space.
Hi, I lost half my disk capacity? Or is there something else? I'm running BackupPC 4.4.0 now with around 100 clients to be backupped via rsync. At the moment only pool v4 is active. Status page says for several months, this kind of figures: Pool is 4152.10GiB comprising 20752385 files and 12384 directories (as of 2021-06-11 03:09), But disk is: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/loods4--vg-home 9.7T 9.4T 352G 97% /var/lib/backuppc And: --- /var/lib/backuppc 9.1TiB [##] /cpool I did a ncdu scan and the storage seems to be distributed over the folders in cpool and not 1 folder is an obvious problem. I really would like to recover the 4TB of lost space (or be sure the correct usage is 9.4T then I know to add disks.

[BackupPC-users] Incremental backups succeed, full backups fail.
Hi, I'm using BackupPC for several years now (upgraded to 4.1.5, but the problem existed before), but lately full backups of 2 servers started to fail. We are using rsync over ssh for all backups. Mainly Linux servers and some Windows server where we installed Cygwin sshd and rsync to facilitate the backup. We run little scripts to create a disk shadow before we start the backup and clear it when the backup is finished. I've moved one of the client servers to another BackupPC server and the backup runs without any problems on that server. I can use the second failing server to try to debug why the backup fails. So far I've upgraded the server from 3.xxx to 4.1.5, but that didn't change anything. Incremental backups always succeed. I've created a new 'server' in backuppc to have a clean starting point, but that full backup also never succeeded. I've changed the XferLogLevel to 7 to see if it shows anything, but the only error I can find is: rsync_bpc: connection unexpectedly closed (5560630 bytes received so far) [receiver] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(629) [receiver=3.0.9.12] rsync_bpc: connection unexpectedly closed (342 bytes received so far) [generator] How can I debug this further to find the real problem?

Re: [BackupPC-users] samba backup operation
Ah my mistake, although I do not use the smb backup solution, I found that the incremental smbclient command uses a -TcN $timeStampFile which should only backup the files newer than the $timeStampFile. It looks like it is really an incremental backup to me.

Re: [BackupPC-users] R: Re: FullKeepCnt
Hi,
Is BackPC deleting backups? As in do you have constantly 2 full backups and 1
incr.? And if you view a incr. backup it says in the top which backup sessions
it is using to create the view, maybe that will give some clues. And what about
that Partial backup? Do you know the reason for that one?
Met vriendelijke groet,
Micha Kersloot

Yes, this would require a new full total > backup on the new pool, but any server migration always require a full > read of the data, one way or another. This is more or less the way we move machines to another backup server. If a server is getting somewhat full, we buy a new server, backup some of the client servers to this new backup server and after a while remove the backups from the old server. So that is already possible with the current version of BackupPC. The only thing that seems to be solved in your proposal is that the management can be done from one server instead of managing multiple servers. I think that is not the biggest problem. Our problem is that we lose the history when moving a client backup to another backup server. The only thing we could come up with to solve this a little bit is to implement a new server long before the old one is really full and then let the backup run on this new server for a longer time to create a new history before deleting it from the old server. If it can help anyone, here is our procedure. 1. If backup server is > 70% full, request new server. 2. Backup some of the clients on new server, hold backup on the old server. 3. Let the backup on the new server run for > 3 months 4. Delete backup from old server and hope there are no restore request for data older than 3 months. It's a bit of a hassle, but BackupPC is totally worth it!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Usage of BackupPC in large environment
Hi, Using it here for the same amount of servers, both in the datacenter and remote. Because of the high load on the storage devices in the machine, we've choosen to split the backups over multiple smaller backuppc servers. We still experience a load 10 during backup season, but as the server is not used for interactive session, we just accept that.

Hi, In that case, you need 'sudo command' to run the command with the administrator rights.

It looks like there is a firewall which blocks traffic when you try to setup to many connections in a short period of time. So, the two pings with nc on port 22 , ssh connection, then again two pings in such a short time-frame triggered this rule. The sad thing is, that in de meanwhile I deleted the authorized_hosts file and forgot to rebuild it for all known hosts, so now I have to wait another day to see if I really fixed the problem, but I have a good feeling about it.

[BackupPC-users] The famous Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error
Hi, I've got the Backup aborted (Unable to read 4 bytes) error for some weeks now. It was working allright for a year or two, but lately those errors come up every night. The problem is that if I start a backup manualy via the CLI commands, or by the webinterface it all works like a charm. So 'only' the automatic started backups seem to suffer from this problem. Is there any way to debug this in BackupPC?

[BackupPC-users] PreUserCmd not working?
Hi list,
I've got a problem with the PreUserCmd command on a archive host.
OS: Fedora Core 6
BackPC version: 3.0.0
The configuration was done with the webinterface:
dat36gb.pl
$Conf{ArchiveDest} = '/backup3/BackupPC/archive';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'archive';
$Conf{ArchivePostUserCmd} = 'touch ~backuppc/ditwaseentest.txt';
$Conf{ArchivePreUserCmd} = 'touch ~backuppc/ditiseentest.txt';
The thing is that both commands never ran and at the moment i've got no
clue where to start looking. The archives itself are created every night
without any problems. Someone an idea?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Preferred network for backup
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Larry Bernstone schreef: Has anyone set up a system where they have a preferred network for backups? I have laptops that connect to wireless and wired subnets on my network. I’d like for the wired network to be used if available, but since DNS gives out seemingly random results to a hostname lookup, it behaves really screwy, is difficult to script, and will often choose the wireless connection over the wired. Anyone come up with a good config for this? Not really a backup question, but I can think of two solutions, depending on the OS on the laptops and the server. 1. If the OS on the laptop is Linux, you can script DCHP-client so it sends a hostname depending on several variables, for example the network card. 2. You can setup the DHCP server to fix ip numbers to mac addresses. In that case you are always certain about the connection type in use. - -- With kind regards, Micha Kersloot http://www.own-it.nl -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHJj+QLG2Seh5hGQ4RAmGqAJ407d/Nmylm7hlPYfzsNeIgnVAKSwCdEUU4 5txDlwJ0WtvjTvQiIy6ByLA= =cPY7 -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
