You seem to be acting a twit, but I guess even twits deserve a little help.
If you want the benefits of rsync then you must live with its limitations.
I mean your living with SCO (SCO really, are you serious??!).  If you can't
manage to get SCO to behave then simply configure rsync in daemon mode and
be done with it.  Once you start using rsync in your daily life you find it
to be an indispensable tool.

Neither you, nor anyone else had offered any assistance before, so I'm not
seeing the downside.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync with windows/cygwin

2010-09-14 Thread Michael MH. Heel

Seems like i found the right setup for rsync/cygwin. 

 

It didnt help to use the full path for excludes. It didnt help to start with 
/cygdrive.

 

Like this subdirectories exclusion ('/234/aaa') work also:

 

$Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/true';

$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = 200;

$Conf{ClientCharset} = 'cp1252';

$Conf{ClientCharsetLegacy} = 'cp1252';

$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [

  '/cygdrive/e/daten'

];

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {

  '*' => [

'/123',

'/345',

'/678',

'/3455',

'/234',

'/234/aaa'

  ]

};

$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host $rsyncPath $argList+';

$Conf{RsyncClientRestoreCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -l backuppc $host $rsyncPath 
$argList+';

$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';

$Conf{XferLogLevel} = 1;

 

 

 

Thx a lot for you all your help

I did further test with different excludes. All with no success. i think the 
the rsyncsharename is the problem. The rsyncd config was clear as you define 
the share on the client in the rsyncd.conf. rsync on one of my nix machines 
work fine. So i think the rssyncsharename in is the problem and the excludes 
never get touched at all.

Here is my client-config:

 

$Conf{PingCmd} = '/bin/true';

It looks so bad lol i cant tell. I have to see how i managed to get that done

I started a new attempt with the correct format (webinterface looks better now

There was a bug in older versions of cygwin/rsync which did not work as a 
"server" over ssh.  It would hang up, so you had to run rsync as a daemon and 
set up shares.  However, that has since been fixed, so you should be able to 
run rsync/ssh just fine.

I suspect your problem with BackupFileExclude is that you are not including the 
full path.  If you are using a Windows client, your full path will be something 
like "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/".   If you are 
neglecting the /cygdrive/c/ part, that may be your issue.

Thanks. I might look into this later. As it is now, it's working fine even

Hello. I am testing BackupPC since a few days for backing up Windows PCs. 

Most information i got tell me to use rsyncd when it comes to windows machines 
due to a bug. 

As i run into problems with rsyncd+ssh i wonder if the rsync problem still 
persists or if it can be used now. 

About the rsyncd problem: rsyncd trys to connect directly and is not using the 
ssh tunnel. I found documents about this problem but if rsync would work i 
would save the time solving the problem. 

Thx for your help

The only way I was able to get rsync to work with BPC was rsyncd on the
BPC-side, and MobaSSH on the Windows-side. YMMV I guess. This was on Windows
Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2, both were the 32b-versions.

HTH.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync with windows/cygwin

2010-09-14 Thread Michael MH. Heel

Thx fort he info sorin and gerald. I will look into into.

 

In the meantime i tried standard rsync over ssh. The backup works fine with a 
„small“ problem: BackupFilesExclude 

  doenst work at all. I dont know if thats the mentioned rsync bug or not but 
basic operation is working now. I use centos 5.4 with  backuppc 3.2.0. client 
is a win2003 server running cygwin. 

So either i take care of the BackupFilesExclude problem or the rsyncd problem. 
Which method you think is the better one for this scenario if both would work ?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore takes way too long and the fails

2010-09-14 Thread Marcus Hardt

Update:

tar xf restore.tar  will fail, if restore.tar is pretty big

cat restore.tar | tar x   seems to work

And I thought windows was terrible...

Well, yes and no. 

I've downloaded the tarball. It's 129Gig of size.

Now tar is letting me down, it's not processing the whole file, just the 
start of it. Let me guess: 2GB?

What a nightmare...

Whatever this list is good for, I certainly don't feel compelled to assist you
