Re: [BackupPC-users] Error: Unable to connect to BackupPC server
Should I run configure.pl to re-install backuppc and see if it works? Also, if I re-install backuppc, will that delete the backups on the backup dir (/data) or will that remain there? I just want to make sure that my backups are not deleted if I re-install backuppc. under normal circumstances reinstalling of backuppc never touches config files and backuppc pool. but it seems that something is broken on your machine - I refuse any responsibility :) [I don't know any backuppc install/uninstall method which removes the pool (normally located in /var/lib/backuppc/). imo a reinstallations is safe if you store ypur server and client config files somewhere else while removing and installing your backuppc server) renke signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- Come build with us!

Re: [BackupPC-users] Noob questions
On the other hand, if you are just backing up home directories on two computers, BackupPC may be overkill. but backuppc is convenient - okay, I have to admit that I use it to backup my ~25 servers so I'm maybe not really unbiased in my opinions regarding decent backup solutions. but anyway: I have an old laptop with debian and backuppc running on my cabinet just to backup my current laptop :) Renke signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Noob questions
It's that initial setup / learning curve... If was past that I'd be setting up BackupPC on the toaster oven. excellent point. I started with some backuppc 2.x and my current 3.x is _really_ user friedly and easy going. but if I try to imagine what would happen when I just looked for a simple backup solution for my private needs BackupPC would be overkill. why should I invest time for something like a stupid file copy application? long story short: yes, backuppc is not simple - but a running instance is like fire-and-forget. I just start my laptop and home and one to two hours later everything is safe on the RAID of my backuppc server. nobody wants backup, everyone demands restore is imo possible with a configured backuppc :) Renke signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Noob questions
In fact, it has become so fire-and-forget that part of me worries what if it really is not doing what I think and hope it is... Maybe I should check it out once in a while ;) the configuration at home is similar to the one at work (and to be honest: I played with backuppc while I was paid in office, not while my leisure time ;) ) - and as my (l)users delete _often_ files and the restore works stable I trust my box on the cabinet (especially after receiving no backups! panic mails from my home server while vacations...)

Re: [BackupPC-users] Harmless button when trying to start backups using links browser
Does anybody have a fix to let it be used in a text mode browser or a browser w/o javascript? This isn't quite what you asked for, but a much nicer way to do remote administration is to run freenx on a stable 'inside' linux box where you have ssh access, and use the NX client from http://www.nomachine.com on your laptop (and perhaps other machines). imo NX is overkill - a ssh tunnel to port 80 of the backuppc host is sufficient... but more on-topic: I like John's proposal, a plain html page would be nice, I don't see the need for javascript in the GUI.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Change target directory
the directory is hard coded, you can only change it at compile time.
The easiest solution is to bind mount /var/lib/backuppc to a directory
of your choice.
Isn't this set in config.pl file using $Conf{TopDir}.
good point - maybe I'm just outdated and stuck to 2.x :)

Hello Dick,

I apologize. I gave the wrong file -- one I tried in desperation.
n.p. - computers are invented for human desperation
The share name was $Conf{SmbShareName} = 'd';
I think your config should look like this:
$Conf{SmbShareName}= 'd';
$conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/TSEPWin','/AscendFCU','/CitizensBank'];
but I have to admit that I never invested time in the optimal conf of my
backupped win-boxes, I just save complete shares.

Re: [BackupPC-users] On-demand backups of laptops
Hello Stephen, This provides a near-optimal solution, I think, for laptop backups. The very first backup of a laptop may take a few minutes if there is a lot of data (so should occur on the local LAN if possible), but future backups for most users take under 5 minutes! Your described soltution sounds very impressive, this looks excatly like the backup for my road warriors I'm thinking about a long time. I would be very happy if you can publish your scripts, Renke -- rbrausse ferdinand-kopf-str 7 79117 freiburg +497613845491 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How long does a normal Backup take?
Hello Hendrik, on localhost I see in your pdf many transfer errors - it is possible that you try to backup many directories without access for the backuppc user? Without real knowledge about it: I can imagine that such access denied issues are time consuming. So I have two suggestions for further test: - Check the access right on localhost - Switch one of your XP clients to SMB transport Greetings, Renke PS Can you please reply this mail to all recipients, it is easier to follow a list thread if all messages are in the archive. -- rbrausse ferdinand-kopf-str 7 79117 freiburg +497613845491 Am Sonntag, den 07.10.2007, 02:04 +0200 schrieb Hendrik Friedel: Hi, vdr01 ~ # hdparm -t /dev/hda /dev/hda: Timing buffered disk reads: 118 MB in 3.03 seconds = 39.00 MB/sec vdr01 ~ # hdparm -t /dev/hdb /dev/hdb: Timing buffered disk reads: 124 MB in 3.01 seconds = 41.15 MB/sec No, I haven't yet tried any other transfer methods.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How long does a normal Backup take?
Hello Hendrik, Am Sonntag, den 07.10.2007, 14:57 +0200 schrieb Hendrik Friedel: I noticed something else, though: The moment I start the backup, the free-mem drops to 6MB (from 400MB; I have 512MB). This might be the bottleneck, don't you think? My backup host uses the double amount of RAM but I don't see a reason why only 512 mb should be such a performance killer. I'd rather not switch to SMB, yet. Maybe, you could comment on the above first. It was quite a problem for me setting backuppc up the way it is now. Never change a running system ;-) Maybe debugging localhost already helps. If you insist, I'll switch to SMB though ;-) To say it short: I have no idea what could be your problem with the backuppc server - switching to smb was only an idea that - maybe - leads to a faster backup (but this can't be the explanation as your local backup is slow, too). Sorry, I don't think that I can give you a useful hint for a solution, maybe another list user can help you with this topic.

If I failed to consider any other topic, please feel free to let me know about those as well. I use backuppc for a full backup of 12 servers (most Linux) plus some other machines with backing up of some shares only, on a daily basis we have around 12 GB new files (before compression, average of last week). Our backup server is really boring: A Pentium-4 based host with a RAID5 of 5 400 GB SATA harddisks on a 3Ware 9500 controller, the funny amount of 1 GB RAM, connected with gigabit ethernet to our LAN. Though this machine isn't the dream of a sysop it is working well: Our backup window is from 19:30 to 07:00 and only sometimes (e.g. the fileserver has it's weekly full backup) I can see a longer running dump. So in my eyes the hardware isn't the important point, a low to middle class server with a big raid should be in the most cases sufficient.
