Well, I guess you'll need to make sure ssh works fine. To do so, go to your backuppc server an switch into the user context of backuppc by "su - backuppc". From there issue "ssh user@hostname" and accept the public key of the target client. Once done, it should run without any problems. As long

[BackupPC-users] rsync'ing BackupPC Pool?

2024-02-20 Thread Christian Völker via BackupPC-users
Hi, I remember the "good old time" when it was a really bad idea to rsync a BackupPC pool to an off-site location. This was because of the high usage of hardlinks in Pool v3 version. At least a bad idea on the size of my pool (1.5TB) even with mostly static content. How is this with the

[BackupPC-users] How to check pool?

2024-02-18 Thread Christian Völker via BackupPC-users
Hi all, I have a large v4 pool (not cpool) (1.6TB) running on top of btrfs. Is there any chance to perform a pool check from BackupPC to verify all data in the pool is still ok? I am getting some checksum errors from btrfs and I want to know if the backed up data is still fine. Thanks!

Hi, does your HDD contain the full structure of a pool (usually the structure below /var/lib/BackupPC)? If so I'd recommend to add all the hosts which are visible as directory in pc/-folder. Stop BackupPC, mount your hdd to /var/lib/BackupPC and start BackupPC. It should recon the structure

Hi, thanks for pointins this out. I do not remember having set this manually on all hosts. It was set globally anyways so I removed these entries from all clients. And I have only a username for this single host (as it is MacOS and does not know "root" as the others do). Meanwhile I have
