Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with BackupPC - RSync

There could be a lot of reasons for this. Start by looking for errors in the server log file, and the XferLOG.bad.z file in the client's backup directory. Craig On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 8:10 AM, Jeffrey West via BackupPC-users < backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > All, > > > > I have

All, Disregard this message. I feel like an idiot! I had created a host file entry a while back to test and forgot to remove it. Once I removed the entry, everything is working properly. Jeff West Systems Engineer Riptide Software Office 321-296-7724 ext 216 <(321)%20296-7724> Direct

Michael is correct that BackupPC does use $Info->{pid} (which is read from status.pl). But it does check that that process exists before printing the error message (using perl's kill(0, pid) that doesn't really send a signal, but tells you whether the process is alive). So I don't know why it

Hi, I really don't know where to start on this one, and my reply is off-topic, even if the original post wasn't, so sorry about that. For the archives: don't "kill -9". Period. "kill -9" means "I saw someone use this for a different problem, and I wanted to try it, too. I don't really know what

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with backuppc

Good news folks, backups are working properly for the affected client. The evident issue being the size and useage of the /home partition on the client. I decided to reduce the amount of data required to move by emptying the trash folders of the users on the machine, freeing over 2G of space

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with backuppc

You didn't say if it appeared as though data was coming across the wire or not. This is possibly the culprit: $Conf{ClientTimeout} = 72000; Timeout in seconds when listening for the transport program's (smbclient, tar etc) stdout. If no output is received during this time, then it is assumed

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with backuppc

Peter, For testing purposes, you may reduce the alarm period, but under practical circumstances, it must be large enough that it doesn't cut off backups that would finish, had they been given the time to collect enough file information. The behavior also depends on the transport mechanism

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problems with backuppc

Unfortunatly right now, I am rechecking backuppc's data partition, so I can't check the setup, and the client is in windows (it's in kingston, on... and I am in Prince George, BC, so I can't just walk over and kick them off, grr...) But the backups are split up, one fs is the '/', excluding
