I thought this article on obnam was interesting. I was interested in the idea
that there are no incremental/full backups - all backups are just a snapshot.

Is there an easy way to set restore options (using rsync), I want to not
restore
files on the destination that have mod time newer than the backup.

Using rsync (via ssh), default is aes encryption, which is expensive.
I wanted to try setting
Host * Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc
I put that in user backuppc .ssh/config, but that didn't seem to work
(according
to the output of ps, not showing the args to ssh).
I did find that putting it in
I need to do a restore in the morning. If I start the restore before the
normally-scheduled backup, will that block the backup until the restore is
complete? I would think it would be a bad thing to try to run the backup while
the restore is in progress.
Thanks. I got it fixed. A mix of f15 and f16 perl packages was to blame.

Any ideas?
Well, it's working again. Not sure what broke it.
When I had reinstalled backuppc from scratch (wiping /var/lib/BackupPC), I had
re-used my old /etc/backuppc config.
Now I just a new, clean /etc/backuppc (just adding my host and share).
Something in the old config that backuppc didn't like, I
OK, so I did a new test today.
1. I did a complete reinstall of backuppc on the server. I removed all
existing
data from /var/lib/backuppc
2. I ran backup manually:
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v -f nbecker1

Using rsync (fedora 15 server, fedora 16 client)
I put this in nbecker1.pl:
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = {
'*' = [
'/home/nbecker'
]
};
But when I try to start full backup, on the client I see:
ps auxwww | grep rsync

Ok, let me get to the point.
The server is F15. The client was just upgraded to F16 (but the upgrade
failed,
and it's a clean install).
The backups had been working. Now they're not. I'm trying to troubleshoot.
The symptom is, rsync starts on the client, but nothing happens. Notice the

Tried to setup as before so backuppc user on server can ssh as root on client.
No luck. If I test, public key doesn't work.
Yes, on client .ssh permissions are OK, and there are no log messages saying
otherwise.
I did see some selinux warnings, but selinux is set to permissive - so that

This is a linux server backing up a linux client.

Yeah, the client wasn't connected at that time. But I don't want to use
netbios
to resolve the name. It's a linux client. Why isn't it using dns?

Well, it seems that just looking at the command line while it was running was
misleading. In fact, it did just backup /home/nbecker as I wanted. Thanks.
