Re: [BackupPC-users] [BackupPC-devel] BackupPC 3.0.0beta1 released
Craig Barratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi I made a debian package for File::RsyncP version 0.64. You can download it here if you would like: http://g3pd.ucpel.tche.br/~rreal/download/libfile-rsyncp-perl_0.64-1_i386.deb I used this package in a Debian testing system, don't know if it will work in anything else... Rodrigo I have released BackupPC 3.0.0beta1 on SF at: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ A new version 0.64 of File::RsyncP that is needed for rsync hardlink support has also been released on SF and CPAN. I've attached the ChangeLog with the changes since 3.0.0beta0. 3.0.0beta1 has some substantial new features compared to 2.1.2. New features include: * Added configuration and host CGI editor. * Added rsync hardlink support. Requires latest version of File::RsyncP (0.64). * Decoupled BackupPC_dump from BackupPC_nightly by making asynchronous file linking/delete robust to race conditions. Now only BackupPC_nightly and BackupPC_link are mutually exclusive so only one runs at a time, and BackupPC_dump and BackupPC_restore can run anytime. * Added support for multi-level incrementals. In the style of dump(1), the level of each incremental can be specified. Each incremental backups up everything since the most recent backup of a lower level (fulls are always level 0). Previous behavior was all incrementals were level 1, meaning they backed up everything since the last full (level 0). Default configuration is all incrementals are level 1. * Server file names are now in utf8 and optional conversion to/from client name charsets can be configured. All CGI pages now use the utf8 charset. * Added RSS support from Rich Duzenbury. * Added optional checking of exit status of Dump/Restore/Archive Pre/Post UserCmd. * For new installations configure.pl places all the configuration files below /etc/BackupPC, bringing it more in line with the File System Hierarchy Standard (FHS). Depending upon the reported bugs and issues there could be additional patches and beta releases prior to the offical 3.0.0 release. Enjoy! Craig # # Version 3.0.0beta1, 30 Jul 2006 # * Fixed several Xfer charset conversions. * Added some CGI utf8 conversions from Rodrigo Real and Vincent Fleuranceau. * Host name is forced to lower case, to match 2.x. * Fixed LOG file naming in BackupPC_restore and BackupPC_archive. * GFK applied fr.pm corrections from Nicolas Stransky. * Updated init.d/src scripts for FHS (ie: replaced __TOPDIR__/log with __LOGDIR__ and __TOPDIR__/conf with __CONFDIR__). Patch provided by Rodrigo Real. * Added --log-dir and --conf-dir options to configure.pl. Reported by Vincent Fleuranceau. * Updated File::RsyncP version check in configure.pl, reported by Vincent Fleuranceau. Changed File::RsyncP version to 0.64. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup to localhost?
I had to use the user www-data as the backup user , because there is a
problem for me to use sperl on all my debian systems for some reason
Now if i add www-data to sudoers( which my apache runs as) does this
introduce a security issue?
Thanks...

For this to work, you need to allow the backuppc user to run tar with
sudo. I use this line in /etc/sudoers:
backuppc ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/bin/tar
I hope this can help.

Hi,
I am using the rsyncd transfer method and would like to have each
new backup be base to the most recent incremental, thus completely
avoiding full backup
after the first initial backup.
Is this now possible with version 3.0.0 beta? Maybe
$Conf{IncrLevels} can be
use to this end but I don't see how.
Regards,
... Matt

Well I'm quite new in linux and maybe others users will tell you you
shouldn't give www-data a sudo permission. Anyway, If you wan't
backuppc to backup your localhost, the user how runs backuppc needs root
permissions to reach some system files.
I don't think adding these lines to sudoers introduce many security
risk because you give root permission only for the /bin/tar program (or
the /bin/rsync).
Of course it would be better to run backuppc as a special user. If you
have problem using sperl, I saw on that you can run a special instance
of apache under another user, specially for backuppc. Maybe that would
be more secure.

[BackupPC-users] Any plans for a Wiki?
Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But I was wondering if there are any plans for adding a Wiki to the BackupPC website? It might be useful to help document FAQs and work arounds and such. I'm a fan of MoinMoin myself: http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ Sorry if this is a repeat. John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC_nightly long run time and 3.0.0beta0
Okay I am running 3.0.0beta0 (zero) and I was wondering, how long should BackupPC_nightly jobs take? I currently have two jobs running: BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127 BackupPC_nightly 128 255 They have been running for about 20+ hours so far. I actually have stopped all my backup jobs so that no backups will run. I want all my pending BackupPC_link jobs to run but I don't believe they will run until BackupPC_nightly is done. Currently my backup server has 618GB of data backed up onto the hard drive. There are 18 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of: * 422 full backups of total size 4704.42GB (prior to pooling and compression), * 938 incr backups of total size 538.76GB (prior to pooling and compression). Not sure if that will give an idea of how long a BackupPC_nightly job should run for. Thanks, John - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
