Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 4.1.2 released

2017-05-10 Thread daveinredm...@excite.com 
Thanx for the suggestion, but no. The reason I want to change from Ubuntu to 
OpenSUSE is that I'm using Leap on the desktops and I was thinking that 
consolidation on a sinbgle OS would be advantageous. If I can't go to Leap, I 
will likely upgrade the current Ubuntu OS to the latest LTS and then look at 
moving from BackupPC v3 to v4.

If you're willing to try Suse, an RPM based distro, then why not CentOS?

I'm actively supporting the package through my COPR[1].

You just do a CentOS install, enable the extras and Fedora EPEL
repositories...

Per https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

Extras is enabled by default on CentOS and has instructions for installing
Fedora EPEL

Then download the repo file from my COPR into /etc/yum.repo.d/

Then:

yum install BackupPC

Look at the readme provided in the package for configuration instructions.

Let me know if you attempt this and let me know if I missed anything so I
can update the package.

Thanks,
Richard

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 4.1.2 released

2017-05-10 Thread daveinredm...@excite.com 
Has anyone successfully installed v4.1.2 on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2??? I am 
considering migrating my sever from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE, but have not been able 
to successfully install BackupPC. It is running, but out of control - i.e. the 
log file updates daily but I have no web interface ("There is either no index 
document or the directory is read-protected. "), thus an Apache problem??

Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

BackupPC 4.1.2 <https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/releases/tag/4.1.2>
has been released on Github.

BackupPC 4.1.2 is a bug fix release, with a few minor new features.  The
changes are listed below.

Thanks to everyone who helped track down bugs and/or provided pull requests.

Craig

   - Merged pull requests: #93, #94, #97, #102
   - Fixed NetBios lookup of hosts, reported by Doug Lytle.
   - Fixed bin/BackupPC_tarExtract and lib/BackupPC/Xfer/Ftp.pm in case
   where a directory tree is no longer present in a new backup.  Reported by
   Jens Potthast and Matt Bedynek.
   - Fixed SCGI when BackupPC is run in non-daemon mode (which is the
   systemd default starting in 4.1.1).
   - $Conf{ClientNameAlias} can now be an array of hostnames; the first one
   that succeeds ping is used for the backup or restore.  From martintamare
   (#94).
   - Fixed status link in SCGI server, improved the navigation tab (now it
   doesn't scroll) and some css/html cleanup; from Nicholas Hall (#97).
   - Fixed logic in bin/BackupPC_dump for $Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} to
   prevent netbios name check; from Nicholas Hall (#102).
   - Fixed config editor bug in sub-entries of hash config variables,
   related to SCGI.
   - Fixed rsync restore of a top-level directory when the share is "/",
   reported by Ray Frush.
   - Increased $Conf{FullKeepCnt}[0] by 1 in expiry calculations, so the
   most recent filled backup effectively isn't counted for expiry.  This
   improves the behavior, particularly when $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 1.
   - Rsync transfers now use --timeout=$Conf{ClientTimeout} instead of
   using an alarm based on rsync log output, suggested by ACR.
   - added --delete-excluded and --one-file-system to $Conf{RsyncArgs}.
   - Removed extra quotes from $Conf{CgiURL} in configure.pl from Alexander
   Moisseev (#93).  Also added $DestDir to some print messages in
   configure.pl.
   - BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore now support the -p option to turn
   off progress reports.  The old -p (inplace) option to BackupPC_tarExtract
   is now -P.
   - Backup directory mtime is now set to the backup endTime.
   - Updated FSF address in cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin, reported by TomCat42
   (#91).

So we can now define a list of "host.internal.example.tld, host.example,tld,
host.wireless.example.tld" and whichever one responds gets backed up? Sweet.
That's a feature which has been needed for a while.
