Re: [flexbackup-help] Backup to a remote directory?
Quoting TeckniX loki...@gmail.com: What's the format of your external directory? ext3 How is windows seeing that directory? It's capable of seeing it over samba but because it's removable, this is not very suitable. I was actually hoping it could be accessed in the manner of sshfs. It is important that the Windows box releases the directory soon after stopping using it, without user intervention. -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-flexbac...@tinsleyviaduct.com Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- ___ flexbackup-help mailing list flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
[flexbackup-help] Include hostnames on local backups?
Is it possible for flexbackup to include the hostname in the filename when backing up a local filesystem?

[flexbackup-help] Exit codes
I am looking to add additional automated processing after backups, but need to clarify the exit codes used by flexbackup. What exit codes does it use in the following circumstances: Wrong wday (looks like 0 to me) Normal completion Others? Of course, it is simply a shell script, but if this is known, it would save me having to work my way through it. -- Phil Reynolds mail: phil-flexbac...@tinsleyviaduct.com Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- Register Now Save for Velocity, the Web Performance Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.

[flexbackup-help] ssh failing when flexbackup runs from crontab
I replaced this machine a few weeks ago with a totally new build. I have tried to re-enable automated backups but they only work for the local machine. Trying to ssh into the other machines logs Permission denied. This does not happen if I run flexbackup from the command line. How do I make this work? Finding out why it doesn't may help but I cannot see how to enable more output from ssh in flexbackup. -- Phil Reynolds mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ flexbackup-help mailing list flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help

[flexbackup-help] Using p7zip
There is a p7zip wrapper on my system. This can be used as a substitute for bzip2 with tar. Assuming I make sure it is on all of my systems, can I specify it as a compress program for flexbackup to use with tar? -- Phil Reynolds mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ flexbackup-help mailing list flexbackup-help@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flexbackup-help
[flexbackup-help] If a backup fails...
In the event of a backup failing (because the machine being backed up crashes during the process), am I right in thinking that /var/lib/flexbackup on the host where flexbackup is run is where details of the level and time are kept? Would deleting the last stamp for the affected partition in there be the right way to make the next incremental backup the same level as the failed one? (I actually had such a failure this week - a Windows box crashed during an incremental backup, with no data written.) -- Phil Reynolds o mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |L_ \ / Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ (_)- \/ Waltham 66, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
