Yes. Both ways work. Sometimes there is a mental block, at
least on my part, that these are just a string of entries in
a certain sequence on the command line and if you look at
the log output you can put it together. So keeping the '-e'
rsync_bpc was trying to expand the following empty string
which failed. When I migrated from v3 this was a stumbling
block for me and I did get help here on the mailing list
that corresponds to my earlier answer.

[BackupPC-users] Compressed Pool Size VS Disk Usage
Compressed Pool Size VS Disk Usage I have 5 clients backed up with the compressed pool size showing 50G for 175,000 files. The disk usage "df -h" is around 80G. I do expect overhead and do have quite a bit of spare capacity so this is not an issue. I just want to confirm that 20 to 30 GiB is in the ballpark for stored attribute data and logs. Most of the stored data is user homes, system configs (etc, boot) and application data. Does the overhead vary depending on stored data type? Just curious. -- Jim KR ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

This may be important to BackupPC's operation. It is
recommended that you not change the rsync arguments from
their default in the supplied config.pl
I was guilty of modifying the defaults and it took me three
months to clear the backups of deleted data across four
backup disks.

So far it works fine. It does the backupsand all is good.
I am backing up the Users-Folder as "$RsyncShareName":

In reviewing again your settings I see that you have the
nightly period configured as a per host value to do a full
traverse as I do, but for my system this is configured on
the server and not by client. I also see that your:
'$sshPath -l username'
lists username. For my setup that username is backuppc for
all clients. Do you have different usernames configured for
each client?
One thing I've noticed in the nightly process is that even
with the setting to traverse the whole pool in one night it
seems that I'll get a big prune (4-5) G's late in the weekly

Goldstein: Are you saying that your full backup, 666, contains files that *were* not in your local directory at the time of the backup? Here is my speculation. Your BackupPC_nightly is configured to traverse only a portion of the pool each night for all of the machines backed up and is not proceeding far enough to identify the 0 link count for the now deleted file. For full backups BackupPC does a comparison of files already in the pool to those physically on the client and if a file already exists in the pool, instead of downloading the entire file again it increments the file count associated with this machine and moves on. For files that nolonger exist on the client machine it decrements the file count to zero but does not immediately delete it from the client pool count. The next time BackupPC_nightly runs, assuming it traverses the whole pool, it removes the files that have a zero count associated with that client. In the documentation this is covered in the section headed "BackupPC Design". I had to read this section several times to understand how BackupPC_nightly works and also the config.pl related to nightly. My pool is I think very small so I have the nightly configured to traverse the entire pool each time it runs at the beginning of the backup schedule each day. If I've got this wrong then I think those who do know will now clarify my miss conception. -- Jim KR ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup Share Content
BackupPC-4.4.0-9.el9.x86_64 I see now this is a bigger problem than I thought initially. I thought that each backup # was a restore point to the state of the share at the time of that backup but instead it is an accumulation of all backups w/o reflecting any of the deletions of files now non existent on the source machine. I had never browsed the backups to see if they were what I expected for one to one state of the current source.

The only way to check if things are correct is to do a test restore to different location and check the ownership of those restored files. There are "attrib" files located elsewhere that keep track of the ownership and source of the file information. When you manually delete files from the pool you corrupt the backuppc data base which could lead to future inaccuracies in backups and restores.

only directories 6,7 and 8..
any help?
Best regards
Since the design is to fill with the previous backup and it
appears you are doing these tests in quick succession w/o a
day between so that "nightly" can run your results are as
expected. Check back tomorrow and see if then the deleted
directories/files have been removed from their respective
backups. If you click delete backup # in the GUI it is then
cued to be deleted when nightly runs at its scheduled time
overnight.
Since deleting a backup file requires unlinking it is not a
straight forward delete.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Setuid problem
I think your problem is exactly this step as the error you are getting says: /I've configured BackupPC on the new server with all the same requested settings as was on the old server and had even predefined the user and group backuppc to match the same UIDs as on the old server to ensure compatibility with the existing USB data drive.

I've gone through this process and it is a good afternoons worth of painstaking hunting down the daemons in etc/passwd and changing their and their owned files UID's first prior to installing backuppc and httpd (apache). It's painful but you get to learn some other tools to search out and make changes. Fortunately I don't have to do it more often than every ten years.

[BackupPC-users] Fwd: Mail to User@host
I am now receiving mail sent by the backuppc daemon with
config.pl settings as per below. The only other edit
previous to this was in the sendmail.cf file on the server
to tell it to masquerade as "mydomain".
But, I thought I had made that change prior to the last
failed deliveries. It may be that a server reboot after a
kernel update was the trigger that got things working.

From: jbk

I am having trouble getting the backuppc daemon to send a
warning to me, the admin user, of no recent backups of
hosts. I have configured sendmail on the host pc that I want
the message sent to listen for all messages which is
working. The following is a summary of my backup server
configuration and status of those efforts.
Email configuration for backuppc in config.pl
###
# Email reminders, status and messages

###
$Conf{EMailFromUserName} = 'backuppc@mydomain';
$Conf{EMailAdminUserName} = 'jbk@t4s.mydomain';
$Conf{EMailUserDestDomain} = '@t4s.mydomain';
###
When I test message delivery with backuppc thus:
---
bash-4.4$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_sendEmail -u
jbk@t4s.mydomain
Sending test email using /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f
backuppc@mydomain
---
The user jbk at host t4s receives the test message.
But when backuppc runs as a daemon the mail delivery fails
because the sender relay falls back to
backuppc@localhost.localdomain
Since localhost.localdomain does not exist in the config.pl
it is being applied from the server environment.
What do I need to edit to get this to work properly?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Rotating multiple drives on one mount point
On 3/26/22 08:03, Kenneth Porter wrote: I'm adding a second external drive to my rotation so I can keep one off-site in case of disaster. How do people handle this? What do your systemd mount/automount unit files look like? Do you use a single drive label so a single systemd unit works to mount any backup drive to the same mount point? I use a common drive label for the four disks I rotate. I recommend auto mount so that if your machine should restart for any reason the disk will remount protecting the local drive from running out of space. I manually stop and start the backuppc.service and then have a couple scripts, one to umount the drive and another to remount. I set this up a long time ago under version 3 and I think it is more complicated than is necessary now in version 4. At the time it was recommended in a guide I was using not to directly mount an external drive to /var/lib/backuppc but instead to mount the external drive elsewhere on the system and then bind mount that location to /var/lib/backuppc. So my fstab entry looks like this for that condition: /LABEL=/backupdisk /data/backup auto defaults 0 0 /data/backup/BackupPC /var/lib/BackupPC non bind 0 0 /This is the script ( bupcdiskinit ) to mount the disk: /#!/bin/bash # USB backup disk initialization file mount /data/backup if [ ! -d /data/backup/BackupPC ];then mkdir /data/backup/BackupPC cd /data/backup/BackupPC mkdir cpool pool pc cd .. chown -R backuppc.backuppc BackupPC cd / else echo "BackupPC exists" fi wait=1 mount /var/lib/BackupPC # end of script ## /This script (umbudisk ) unmounts: /#!/bin/bash # USB backup disk unmount umount /var/lib/BackupPC umount /data/backup # end of script / I'm sure that you can simplify this by removing the double mount. -- Jim Kelly-Rand j...@kjkelra.com ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
Re: [BackupPC-users] Backuppc malcompsoed command Was: issue with RsyncClientCmd being ignored
On the client in /etc/sudoers did you find this line
Defaults requiretty
and change to:
# Defaults requiretty
In some distros the "Defaults" are not present so you will
have to add the line. Sudo won't run through ssh unless you
do that.
Use visudo to make the edits.

I've updated backuppc to version 4.4.0 but this didn't solve my problem: 504 gateway timeout I'm still able to make backup of all my PC but the Backuppc guy didn't work for machine states or any host viewing. This prevent me to make restore if ever I have a problem with one PC.

My old setup was under a FreeNAS Jail, using the FreeBSD pkg of BackupPC with a nullfs mount from the jail to a ZFS dataset housing the backups themselves. It worked great for months. When upgrading from FreeNAS 11 to TrueNAS 12, my jail refused to upgrade so the option was to either create a new jail or install Linux in a VM and mount the backups directory over NFSv3. I chose the latter (ArchLinux) and because Docker is becoming a thing in my LAN, adferrand/backuppc. The error message for older backups I am seeing in the web interface is "Error: Directory /data/backuppc/pc/$host/$baknum is empty". It appears to me that backuppc is no longer owner of the older backups because you changed distro's and the uid/gid has changed for the backuppc user. Your going to have to run chown backkuppc.backuppc on all the older folders & files to allow backuppc to see them. This takes a long time to complete, at least it did for me. Jimkr When trying to access an older backup, BackupPC_ls comes back with, for example: "bpc_attrib_dirRead: can't open /data/backuppc/cpool/72/ca/72ca0cc1bf7a179f8c3cdabc187e3887". Permissions check out (uid 126/backuppc, gid 126/backuppc, umask 027) so the only thing I can think of is that I need to re-index or re-build the pool somehow, but I am not familiar enough with BackupPC command line utilities to know what to do at this point.

Like most mailing lists, this one is plain text only and
stripped out the HTML part with the bolding. So it's not
clear what part of the command wasn't executed.
By the time the digest came out I had figured out the issue.
But to followup on loose ends I can recap my findings.
First, the client command variable quoted below found in V3
is deprecated in V4.
"$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backuppc *$host nice
-n 19 /usr/bin/sudo* $rsyncPath $argList+';"
so none of that line was executed, but because there are
separate lines defining the ssh command, path and rsync
command and path and host V4 was connecting to the client
without the "nice -n 19 /usr/bin/sudo" portion, thus not
able to access any of the file data. Once I realized this I
knew it was just a matter of rearranging the arguments to
fit the new format which I succeeded in doing except for
"nice -n 19".
A similar issue was how to backup the localhost and I found
the solution by searching this list which was to substitute
the call for ssh with one for sudo.
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} = [
'-e',
'/usr/bin/sudo -p'
];
V4 is now up and running and has done round of full backups
on clients and host with no errors of note yet. I'll have to
do a test restore soon to verify.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC V4 Permission Denied on Client
I've been using BackupPC V3 for 12 years now and have set up
V4 on a new install of Rocky linux 8.4. I'm running test
backups of a client via ssh and I'm getting partial backups
with the backup failing after a few seconds.
I figured out the issue once I read the xfer log more
carefully. The new CGI interface does not read the V3 config
files the same way in V4 and is ignoring a portion of the
client command. The portion in bold below was not executed.
The config.pl and client.pl are based on the V3 versions.
Client command:
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -l backuppc *$host nice -n
19 /usr/bin/sudo* $rsyncPath $argList+';
I will have to edit the client PC script in the CGI to fix it.
The CGI is configured based on mod_perl.

BackupPC-3.2.1-6.el6.x86_64
I have recently moved my server from Fedora to Scientific
Linux 6.1 .
I installed the backuppc binary from el6 and configured
the system to use Mod_perl. At first the test back ups
seemed to be working but when I try to do a full backup
based on the host configuration files backuppc will only
back up the root '/' file system. Partitions in fstab
that are mounted at specific mount points return empty
dumps.
I've ignored these for now as I don't have a whole lot of
time to experiment.
Ignorance is bliss until you start backing up what you don't
want. I now understand the hierarchy of the scripts below
and have revised the format as follows:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' =[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
The above applies to all mount points.
The below applies to a specific mount point.
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'mountpoint' =[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
This format carries over to the BackupFilesExclude.
I'm surprised that my old _client.pl files worked given my
prior assumptions, but except for one restore I've never
really checked what was actually getting backed up for the
last three years.
So comparing my host.config.pl
2008 version
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' =[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
2011 version
The below treated the sub directories as separate mount
points. I'm not sure how it was working but I noticed that
this format when applied to exclusions was not.
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/subdir1' = [
' '
],
/subdir2' = [
' '
],
'/subdir3' = [
' '
]
};
So for what ever reason the new format works though the
commentary in the config.pl says that old 2008 version
should work also. I always use the CGI to create the
configurations, I assume there is less chance for error
that way.

BackupPC-3.2.1-6.el6.x86_64
I have recently moved my server from Fedora to Scientific
Linux 6.1 .
I installed the backuppc binary from el6 and configured
the system to use Mod_perl. At first the test back ups
seemed to be working but when I try to do a full backup
based on the host configuration files backuppc will only
back up the root '/' file system. Partitions in fstab that
are mounted at specific mount points return empty dumps.
There are a number of error messages that have been
recorded. The first is when I start backuppc:
# /etc/init.d/backuppc start
Starting BackupPC:
[ OK ]
/etc/BackupPC//config.pl did not return a true value at -
line 1.
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
This error went away. I'm not sure why. I did a Meld Diff of
my config.pl that was created in 2008 and the one that comes
with the this latest version and noticed some parameter
quoting changes like parameters that were numerical values
were no longer captured in ' ' single quotes. I didn't make
any changes to my config to reflect this.
The following lines are the errors I get when backuppc
attempts to descend into mountpoints. This occurs on the
server as well as on network clients.

I've tried to search the archives for relevant issues and

Just to reiterate the backups of the root file system are
successful it is erroring out on the mounted sub-partitions.
OK I've done some testing by re-creating my per host config
file and have succeeded in backing up the sub-partitions. It
seems that the syntax has changed for the RsyncShareName and
BackupFilesOnly fields when using the CGI interface. I find
this interface not to be easy to understand below the
heading Include/Exclude. I assume for the shares listed
under RsyncShareName that I want to create a list of
subdirectories under BackupFilesOnly that correspond. There
is the _New_Key_ field with the _Add_ button following,
which is what I used to add the listing for each sub
directory to include. But, for each new listing I create a
whole new set of buttons appear along side. I've ignored
these for now as I don't have a whole lot of time to experiment.
So comparing my host.config.pl
2008 version
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' =[
'/subdir1',
'/subdir2',
'/subdir3'
]
};
2011 version
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'/subdir1' = [
' '
],
/subdir2' = [
' '
],
'/subdir3' = [
' '
]
};
So for what ever reason the new format works though the
commentary in the config.pl says that old 2008 version
should work also. I always use the CGI to create the
configurations, I assume there is less chance for error that
way.

If you need to move locations after a packaged install it might work best to add symlinks to the original location because the TopDir location becomes hardcoded in some places during the install too. For the record, I've got plenty of inodes, 40+G of free diskspace (with just one BackupPC full backup), and selinux is in permissive mode. Now that I've created pool in the proper place, I'm going to delete my backed-up data and try running two full backups again. I'll let you know how it turns out. It should only use the pool directory if you have disabled compression. Otherwise the compressed/pooled links should be under cpool. Well, I should have read this more carefully. Now I have to go rescind my bug report. I just created the missing directories and started BackupPC. Three Inc. backups have run as expected. It would be better if the default pool directories were setable with $topDir. Jim KR - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
