Re: [BackupPC-users] new to BackupPC

2021-02-03 Thread Systems 
Have a look at technical.network , there is a guide there that mainly uses 
backuppc user (not root) to backup clients via rsync.

Hello!

Something's fishy there, I followed the same guide recently (although for
Ubuntu) and for me /var/lib/backuppc is owned by backuppc.

Looking at the Backuppc-Ubuntu guide there is a step adding a backuppc user
and setting a homedir as /var/lib/backuppc.
https://kifarunix.com/install-and-setup-backuppc-server-on-ubuntu-20-04/

Maybe the guide for CentOS needs to be tweaked a bit?
Otherwise, why not just chown the folder to the right permissions?

I made a simple guide on my walkthrough on upgrading Backuppc from 3 to 4.

I'm still learning so please follow at your own risk, (and feel free to correct 
any of my commands)

For the record, I'm one of those who had tried 4.x a few years ago and been 
bitten by it.  So I put it back in the tar.gz and stayed with 3.x for a while 
longer.  About a year ago I did try again, and things went very much better.  I

That is a *very* bad idea for several reasons:

1. Pool cleanup (BackupPC_nightly) won't know about this now 'hidden'
   backup and will therefore delete any pool file that is not used in
   any non-hidden backup

2. You won't be able to browse the backup using the web interface or
   the FUSE filesystem. So no easy way to access or recover the
   backups (which is presumably the reason you are saving them in the
   first place)

3. Incremental and unfilled backups  on which it depends may be messed up.

DO NOT DO THIS

> Maybe,?
DEFINITELY NOT -- and in the future please do not suggest 'random'
solutions if you have no clue how BackupPC treats pooling,
incrementals and filled baclkups.

'Maybe' is not a good thing to rely on for precious backups...
A little ignorance can go a long way in causing big problems...

Can you rename the ID of the backup folder so that the cronjob doesn’t delete

mv /var/lib/BackupPC/pc//

Is the idea that incompatible with the way it works? I haven't tried looking at 
the code yet, maybe I should. I was hoping there was already an option to mark 
one backup out as exceptional.

Several people have suggested making a backup elsewhere, but I would like to 
keep everything on the  same system I'm backing up to - I guess I could add 
another drive for historical backups, but its also handy to have the backuppc 
frontend to use to look for files.

Some have also suggested increasing the number of backups per host, but I don't 
have the space to do that - the oldest backup I have is 2013, so that would be 
quite a long history.

I don't think it's possible to mark one specific backup to keep, it's not 
really part of the way BackupPC is designed to work.

I would just archive the backup you want to keep to another media.

Personally I’d copy the backupPC path to another location. Make sure that you 
are copying a “full” backup.

OR run an Archive on the backup host

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup works from command line nothing happens from web interface

2020-02-28 Thread Systems 
What type of backup are you requesting? Rsyn/smb ?

What about permissions to execute Rsync in the visudo file?

I know the process runs as the backuppc user, This is rsync setting in main 
configurations:

RsyncBackupPCPath: /usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc

RsyncClientPath: sudo /usr/bin/rsync

Then I've gone into visduo and entered the following to allow sudo access to 
the rsync command:

backuppc ALL=NOPASSWD:/bin/gtar,/bin/tar,/usr/local/bin/rsync_bpc

Maybe that helps?
However, I'm in a centos 7 environment.

installation.

No such errors in Xfer logs, and the thread doesn't appear to be the
same problem.  Makes no sense to me either.  I've used rsync for many
years, and BackupPC for the last 2 years. [sigh]


If you installed the package from EPEL, you can use 'rpm -Vv BackupPC'

I installed via the archive, and I just now updated to 3.3.0, also from
the source code in hopes that would correct something.  So far, no joy.
I also used cpan to re-install the 3 perl modules.

Because of how long it takes to do a full backup on any of my hosts, I
probably won't know for sure until tomorrow if any of this did any good.
I'll let you know what happens.
Thanks for your help.

Note how the fulls after 683 are MUCH smaller, but the incrementals
appear to be getting everything.


Problem #2, Display Issues:
In the GUI, on the host summary page, Full Size is shown as 0 for
some hosts, even though, once again, the incrementals show all files.
As above, the fulls don't have anything but empty directories.

In the GUI, on the host summary page, Full Size is much less than
it should be.  Same situation as above.


I believe all of the above is related to the same problem, but I have
no idea what that is.  Like I said, this was running perfectly for over
2 years, and other than adding a host or 2, not much has changed in that
time.  WHY IS THE FULL BACKUP WRITING EMPTY DIRECTORIES?

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

[BackupPC-users] help with netbios error

2011-11-18 Thread AIM Systems 
Hi all,
This error is beyond me.  I'm a programmer, not a network engineer.
I've just inherited this issue.
Here is my command and the resultant output:

-bash-4.1$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v tim

cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 -w 3 tim
cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING tim.aimsystems.ca (10.30.6.7) 56(84)

NetBiosInfoGet: success, returning host workgroup, user 
dump failed: host tim has mismatching netbios name workgroup

I'm running this command from the DataStore server which runs the dhcp service.
Within /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, we statically assign IPs by MAC address.
Unless he has changed his NIC (which he has not) he will always get the same IP

I don't get it?! What am I missing?!

[BackupPC-users] help with netbios error

2011-11-18 Thread AIM Systems 
Thanks for your reply Tim.

I, too, have read this when 'Google'ing the error and have so far been ruled it 
out.
Physically, there are no ethernet jacks in the walls of the office, hence the 
WAPs
How does one determine if a device has multiple IPs? 
/bin/nmblookup only returns the one address.
