The only confusing thing about this is that the quoted extraneous output is,
in fact, a version description. It is, however, not the *rsync* version in the
rsync protocol format, which rsync would expect here.
Hope that helps.

[BackupPC-users] backup of localhost with rsync always aborts
Hello all together,
since a few days i have a problem during the backup of the server itself
(localhost).
I use rsync to backup some directories of the server.
This method worked fine for the last half year.
But since a few days the backups of the localhost are starting correctly
but after a few minutes the traffic on the disc stops and after 20 hours
($Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72000;) the process is aborted.
My other 2 clients, connected by LAN, are still backed up without any
problems.
Does anyone has an idea what's going wrong?
I'm really confused...

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup to localhost?
The main config is always used but you can define in the per pc config
file some parameters that overload (I don't if you say this way in
english, I'm french :/) the same parameters of the main config.pl file.
For exemple, with your per pc config, all the main variables will be
used except these ones which will be read from the per pc configuration
file:
$Conf{TarShareName}
$Conf{XferMethod}
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
$Conf{TarFullArgs}
$Conf{TarFullArgs}
$Conf{CompressLevel}
$Conf{TarIncrArgs}

The next one won't start until about 24 hours has elapsed since
the last run - then some other things could defer it.
Another quick question, rather than do the rsync thing over ssh,
i want to use a conf file someone on the list provided me to be
placed in the pc's name dir... IE pc/localhost, now do i name
the file config.pl or the name of the directory/pc IE localhost.pl
as i forst named it localhost.pl and it still used ssh rather than
tar
Naming it config.pl in the pc/hostname directory will work. This
file only
needs to contain the settings that differ from the global config.pl
file.

Another question, why does the backup seem to start at 11am? is there a
place to alter this. my server(localhost) is now backing up itself
and the load is now at 6.00, this makes other services slow on the
machine
But it should do just an incremental backup now , right since it did its
first backup yesterday?
Any help appreciated

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup to localhost?
Well, it should do incremental backups, depending on the
configuration. You can verify the type of each backup in the cgi
interface. You can specify in the per pc configuration file the
blackout periods so that backups only occure when you want them to
occure. For exemple (this is the default configuration)
$Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
{
hourBegin = 7.0,
hourEnd = 19.5,
weekDays = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
},
];
With this the backups won't occure (if the host is always connected,
but, as we talk about the localhost, it will always be connected) from
7h00 to 19h30 during all the week (from monday to friday). You can
define several blackout period.

To be considered 'always connected', some number of pings have to
succeed outside of the blackout period. I usually start the initial
backup of a new machine late in the day. Subsequent automatic runs
won't start until 24 hours have passed, then later after the target
is determined to be always available the runs won't start until the
blackout period. If you force an incremental just before you leave
work you'll shift into that cycle.

Hi,
I am using the rsyncd transfer method and would like to have each

Is this now possible with version 3.0.0 beta? Maybe
$Conf{IncrLevels} can be
use to this end but I don't see how.

Well I'm quite new in linux and maybe others users will tell you you
shouldn't give www-data a sudo permission. Anyway, If you wan't
backuppc to backup your localhost, the user how runs backuppc needs root
permissions to reach some system files.
I don't think adding these lines to sudoers introduce many security
risk because you give root permission only for the /bin/tar program (or
the /bin/rsync).
Of course it would be better to run backuppc as a special user. If you
have problem using sperl, I saw on that you can run a special instance
of apache under another user, specially for backuppc. Maybe that would
be more secure.
I had to use the user www-data as the backup user , because there is
a problem for me to use sperl on all my debian systems for some
reason Now if i add www-data to sudoers( which my apache runs as)
does this introduce a security issue?
Thanks...

Hello, I worked on the integration of backuppc to SME server

For the localhost, I use this per pc config:
# start of the per pc config #
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}=['/proc','/sys','/dev','/tmp','/home/e-smith/files/ibays/backup'];
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';

. ' $tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner'
. ' -v -f - -C $shareName+';
# end of the per pc config #
For this to work, you need to allow the backuppc user to run tar
with sudo. I use this line in /etc/sudoers:
backuppc ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/bin/tar
I hope this can help.

file anyways
