Hello, I'm new to linux and looking for an overall backup tool for a Linux
server.
My first question is: can backuppc make a backup of a system it is running on
itself? Or do I always need to have a second backup host to make a backup of my
Linux server?
And my second question is: could I
Hello Matthias,
I have exactly the same problem...
I found my mistake:
Parameter for backup should be:
--numeric-ids --perms --owner --group -D --links --hard-links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --one-file-system
and for restore it should be:
--super
--numeric-ids --perms --owner

A BackupPC server can backup itself just fine. Just make sure you
exclude the backup pool, or
Web applicaties are just static files, right? You can back them up
safely. Consult the docs for your database software for backups. We
let BackupPC run a script to create SQL dumps of all our databases
before starting the backup. Backing up the live database files usually
is not
Hello,
I have understood/resolved the origin of the problem !
-- under a bash in cygwin - 4294967295:513 = beuken:None
the cygwin environment was been installed *before* the creation of user
beuken under Windows environment !
then, beuken wasn't in the /etc/passwd and then , rsyncd
hello,
I have tried to use pre-xfer exec with rsyncd / cygwin

I've Googled for this and scanned the BackupPC docs and I don't see a
solution for this.
The issue is my desktop is spending hours creating huge backups on the
server. The current incremental backup started at 7:00 this morning
and is still running now at 12:15, and is running about 21G.
Hi,
To do this i recomend you the following:
make a copy of rsync to your backuppc bin directory
cp rsync /opt/Backuppc/bin
chown root:backuppc /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
chmod 750 /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
chmod u+s /opt/Backuppc/bin/rsync
then in the host backuppc config change the line that

I have the following config line:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/mnt', '/sys', '/home/
users', ... , '+ /vz/dump', '/vz/*'];
But there is no /vz/dump in the backups. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
James

I hope, I understood this in the right way: making database dumps
helps (I will not get an inconsistence state) but using backuppc for
them will bloat the backup pool?
Depends on what your definition of bloat is. And probably also on the
size of your databases. We backup
You are listing /vz/dump in the BackupFileExclude array. Just leave it
out of BackupFilesExclude completely and it will be included.

the problem with backing up a database incrementally is that as the
database grows the backups bloat up as they do not get any benefit from the
