You shouldn't overrule the ping check. You can safely modify the xp service pack 2 firewall to accept pings from your local subnet, and optionally you can also allow access to the rsync.exe program and port 873/tcp as below run the following at a command prompt if you only want ping then just run the last command. nettsh firewall set allowedprogram program = c:\rsyncd\rsync.exe name = rsync mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 873 name = rsyncd mode = enable scope = CUSTOM addresses = LocalSubnet netsh firewall set icmpsetting interface = "Local Area Connection" type = 8 mode = enable Regards, Les - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

How can I overrule the ping check?
per-pc config (in doc):
$Conf{PingPath} = '/bin/echo';
bypass the ping check...

[BackupPC-users] Upgrade to 3.0.0 beta
Hi, At the current moment we are running BackupPC 2.1.2 and we are very pleased with it. Pool is 161.69GB comprising 633721 files and 4369 directories 144 full backups of total size 3499.96GB (prior to pooling and compression), 262 incr backups of total size 200.43GB (prior to pooling and compression). which means we have full backups of 3 months ago. Now I was wondering how stable is the 3.0.0 and is it worth upgrading already? I have full confidence in the programming skills of Craig Barratt and his accomplices in aid. I know that each version they bring even in beta stage, are full worthy versions. Mostly I never had a problem with them. But I was just wondering if it was worth it to do the switch already, what are pros and cons so far.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrade to 3.0.0 beta
Hey guys, My experience version 3.0.0beta1 to me seems as solid as you get. my setup really doesn't change so i am happy with it. The big thing with version 3 is the ability to edit configuration and hosts files per pc and globally via the cgi interface. This is HUGE as it means full administration can be done via the web interface. i have upgraded a couple of 2.1.2 systems with only minor hiccups. namely missing the par2 binary which is required for the config editor (note it didn't affect the upgrade, but it didn't allow me to edit config files etc in the cgi). par2, if you dont have it in your OS, comes from parchive.sourceforge.net. The upgrade will keep all current data and configuration as they are in 2.1.2, so its painless. I'd fully recommend doing it.

Yes you can just delete the directories.
You won't see any immediate change, you'll have to wait for the nightly
processes to run through the pool and clear out the unneeded files.
p.s. you can also do this globally, or per user by setting in the
config.pl .
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} = 4;
i.e only keep 4 full backups.
Then it will automatically remove old ones.
What about the backups file? It also contains description of all
backups, + some numbers. Isn't it needed for BackupPC, and if I don't
correct it bad things can happen?

i am pretty sure that this file will get fixed by the nightly process.
If it doesn't you could manually remove them.
Nothing bad will happen, worst case is the web interface will show a
link to a backup which wont exist because you deleted it.
If you leave the cleanup to the proper nightly process then it will all
be done for you, thats how it works normally.

[BackupPC-users] SMB backup failing
Hi all. Nobody has responded to my other messages requesting help, so
I'm trying again. I'm using the 2.1.2 version.
I have one Windows machine that is backing up flawlessly (other than
NT_SHARING_VIOLATIONs that are unavoidable). I have another that is
failing when it gets to a very large file. Because it failed before, I
increased the ClientTimeout to 72 (10x higher than default). I
deleted everything about the host that was failing and started again.

working well for me. I tried to exclude like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} =
['Documents and Settings/Administrator/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*'];
And it backed up all 20,000 files in that directory anyway.
Any help would be appreciated.

Re: [BackupPC-users] SMB backup failing
Jason,
I'm still new to backuppc. However, as a general
troubleshooting step...if you move the large file to a machine that is backing
up ok, does it succeed?
That should tell us at least if it's specific to the
backuppc machine/config or specific to the windows box.

Hey, i'm not sure about the tar file and 1gb size...but the excludes
should work without problem.
Remember though that exclusions are based on directory paths from your
client share name.
i.e. if your client smb share is the c drive then full paths of the
excludes should be
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/*'];
if you share at a different level then your exclude paths should change
accordingly, relative to the share.
The above should be all on one line, i assume its just the mail client
that wrapped it to the second line.
However if you do split the
lines then try the syntax like so
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files/*'], # these are for 'c' share
};
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Les

In Perl, it shouldn't matter, so long as you don't break the string

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
['/Documents and Settings/*/Local Settings/Temporary Internet

The above is providing a hash of a string arrays (where there is only
one string in the array), which is a different construct and has
different semantics. The docs say if you provide multiple shares, you
can also give multiple exclusion arrays this way that match the share
names (in the order declared?).
Thanks Les, I'll try putting a leading '/' on my excludes. I am using
a full C-drive share, so I figured a relative path would work fine.
Maybe they need to be rooted with a leading slash? I also didn't know
you could use multiple wildcards. I'll have to try that too.
Thanks,
JH

That being said, there are 2 caveats I think should be mentioned. First, the default location for config files has changed. The main config file is in /etc/BackupPC and the individual host configs are in /etc/BackupPC. I assumed that the new version would migrate from the old without incident. Obviously I should have read the docs more closely! Second, which relates somewhat to the item above, is that the default full backup count is 1 (one). If, as happened to me, the install is done and doesn't find the old config files, some old backups may be deleted.

Hello all,2006-11-07 21:00:10 hostname: Out of memory!Is what I'm seeing in my logs for three of my hosts.They are linux boxes running a variety of distros with varying data store sizes all using rsyncd as the XferMethod. No changes that I know of in the last week, yet they all developed the problem.Plenty of free disk space / inodes.Any hints?Lorentz - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[BackupPC-users] Burn Backups to CD
I've got a client who is not comfortable just having their data on the backuppc. They want something they can put in a fireproof safe. What's the best way to implement that with backuppc? - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [BackupPC-users] cifs vs. samba
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Right... so lets start here: I (we) have several options to run backups. Of these options, it seems samba is very popular for windows hosts. And indeed, this is very flexible and easy to use. Is there any advantage to using cifs over samba where cifs is used like nfs. Simply mount the windows share as a cifs file system then do local backups with tar. Any ideas here? - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

This has hurt me due to win98 clients - for the first time, Linux is less inreroperable than certain proprietary operating systems...note that this is kernel-related, as I have it on good authority that while SMBFS consists of 70% or so user-space code, CIFS is 90% or more kernel-based. I personally have /etc/fstab set up for such file systems, including both 'noauto' and various CIFS-specific parameters (including the credentials file) rather than trying to make it happen using smbclient or smbmount command-line parameters. Then I mount/unmount using shell scripts. This is most useful on laptops, however, where I may not be at home or where the network is not set up - having a box that tries to mount those file systems on every boot can get annoying. /bill - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd on windows failures
I've recently setup a new backuppc server to backup a couple of linux and windows machines. One of the problems I have is that I am backing up a windows XP laptop using rsyncd, but backuppc sees some 'errors' and assumes the level 0 backup failed. However, these errors are not an issue (perhaps in some other cases they are a problem) and I am wondering the best way to resolve this.
