The files in question can be read just fine on the Windows 2003 server. This is a long-standing issue in cygwin or WinXX, not related to BackupPC. The problem is that the sequence of bytes returned when a directory is read by rsync on cygwin don't allow you to open the file when you call open() with that same sequence of bytes. So rsync reports the file as vanished, since it can't open it after reading the directory to get the file name. It looks that the UTF-8 Cygwin dll would solve the issue? http://www.okisoft.co.jp/esc/utf8-cygwin/ I think I used it for some time, and didn't have these file has vanished problems. I wonder if it's better to use with BackupPC than the original Cygwin dll (if one uses multiple international character in filenames)? -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

For what it's worth, I started with 2.1.2pl2 stable and had per-machine configs for each machine working fine. When I installed the 3.0.0beta3 as an upgrade OVER the existing install, it worked fine. Maybe there's something different about the install script that differs between upgrade and a fresh install?

[BackupPC-users] rsyncd doesn't complete
Hello,
I am running backuppc 2.1.1 on debian. I have a rsync server running on
a Windows XP machine (cwRsync). The two machines are connected via a
VPN (L2TP over IPSEC).
I can use rsync directly with no problems. The transfer takes about
four minutes. But when backuppc runs, the transfer freezes up after
what looks like the last file is transfered. After two hours of
inactivity have passed, backuppc gives up and closes the connection as
well as not leaving even a partial backup.
A significant difference I noticed between the two cases is that the
rsyncd log when calling rsync directly says rsync on test, but when
using backuppc says rsync on . Test is the correct name of the rsyncd
share. The only change I made to config.pl concerning rsync is to add
--compress as an rsync option. Any help solving this problem is
appreciated. Log/config file outputs are below.
Here is the rsyncd log from a straight rsync backup running the command
'rsync --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times
--block-size=2048 --recursive --compress rsync://aims-03/test ~/temp/'

Re: [BackupPC-users] Per PC config files issue
Hi,

Ahhh, so I'm not crazy. :)
I posted the same thing a few days ago.
and I replied off-list that setting
$Conf{ConfDir} = '/etc/BackupPC';
in the main config.pl probably means the config files will be put somewhere
beneath there - I take it from Lorentz Hinrichsens message in the same
thread that the actual location is /etc/BackupPC/pc/$host.pl (substitute
the hostname for $host).
For what it's worth, I started with 2.1.2pl2 stable and had per-machine
configs for each machine working fine. When I installed the 3.0.0beta3
as an upgrade OVER the existing install, it worked fine. Maybe there's
something different about the install script that differs between
upgrade and a fresh install?
As I understand it, the whole point of the $Conf{ConfDir} configuration
variable is to let you choose where your configuration will be kept. FHS
wants it below /etc, BackupPC 2.x.x kept it below $Conf{TopDir} (except
there was no $Conf{TopDir} in 2.x.x ;-), which has the advantage of being
near the pool, i.e. possibly on a separate hard disk. I believe, the
install script leaves existing configuration files where they are by
adjusting $Conf{ConfDir}. For new installations, BackupPC follows FHS and
puts them below /etc/BackupPC, setting $Conf{ConfDir} accordingly.
Please note that I am mainly guessing from what I've read on this list,
because I don't have a BackupPC 3.0.0 installation yet where I could check.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So, regarding doc Hydes problem:
But with this latest beta version it seems like the file config.pl is not
being read. I modify it through vi and see no difference in the command
executed. When I attempt to modify it through the cgi interface, the changes
made on the screen do not appear in my config.pl file.
Is this there something that I am missing.
I would guess that you are modifying (and looking at) files below
/var/lib/backuppc, whereas BackupPC is using (and modifying) files below
/etc/BackupPC. Check your setting of $Conf{ConfDir} in the main
configuration file, which I would guess to be /etc/BackupPC/config.pl.
Also note that it's probably $host.pl and not $host/config.pl (in my Debian
packaged 2.1.1 it was also $host.pl; I have no idea whether that was Debian
specific), though I wouldn't be surprised if both work equally or even in
combination ;-).
Regards,
Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] Per PC config files issue
doc writes: I am using BackupPC version 3.0.0beta3. I am saving machines with different OS. I am used to BackupPC version 2 which works perfectly. I drop a config.pl in the .../pc// dir and no problem. But with this latest beta version it seems like the file config.pl is not being read. I modify it through vi and see no difference in the command executed. When I attempt to modify it through the cgi interface, the changes made on the screen do not appear in my config.pl file. Is this there something that I am missing. This question is coming up more frequently. BackupPC 3.0.0 supports two directory layouts: - FHS (file system hierarchy standard). By default config files go below /etc/BackupPC, log files below /var/log/BackupPC, etc. This is the default for new installations. - non-FHS: same as BackupPC 2.x: config files go below the data directory. This is the default for upgrades from 2.x. So if you do a fresh install of BackupPC 3.0.0 the config files will default to /etc/BackupPC. If you upgrade then all the original locations will be used as is. The configure.pl script accepts a --no-fhs option if you want to do a new install using the older 2.x conventions: --fhs Use locations specified by the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard for installing BackupPC. This is enabled by default for new installations. To use the pre-3.0 installation locations, specify --no-fhs. configure.pl does *not* automatically copy config files from the old locations to the new ones. So if you have BackupPC 2.x and you want to use FHS for 3.0.0, you will need to treat it as a new install and merge (don't copy, since you 3.0.0 comes with several new settings!) the old config file at /etc/BackupPC/config.pl and copy the per-client config files to /etc/BackupPC/pc/HOST.pl Craig - Take Surveys.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsyncd doesn't complete
Chris writes: I am running backuppc 2.1.1 on debian. I have a rsync server running on a Windows XP machine (cwRsync). The two machines are connected via a VPN (L2TP over IPSEC). I can use rsync directly with no problems. The transfer takes about four minutes. But when backuppc runs, the transfer freezes up after what looks like the last file is transfered. After two hours of inactivity have passed, backuppc gives up and closes the connection as well as not leaving even a partial backup. A significant difference I noticed between the two cases is that the rsyncd log when calling rsync directly says rsync on test, but when using backuppc says rsync on . Test is the correct name of the rsyncd share. The only change I made to config.pl concerning rsync is to add --compress as an rsync option. Any help solving this problem is appreciated. Log/config file outputs are below. File::RsyncP doesn't support the --compress option, so you should remove it. Try again and if it still fails please email the XferLOG file. Craig - Take Surveys.
