Jason Hughes wrote: All versions of Windows have a limit of 250-ish characters maximum for a full path, including the filename and extension, regardless of file system. I'm not aware of a lower limit imposed by the file system or OS, but it's likely related. Are you running Unicode-16 character set or UTF-16 on the server or Windows box, perhaps? That might halve the limit--I'm not sure. Hope that helps, JH Brendan Simon wrote: I'm get xfer errors on long path/filenames. total length is over 100 chars.

In the Windows API, the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. A path is structured in the following order: drive letter, colon, backslash, components separated by backslashes, and a null-terminating character, for example, the maximum path on the D drive is D:\256 charsNUL. The Unicode versions of several functions permit a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to 255 characters in length. To specify that kind of path, use the \\?\ prefix. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

The question was whether a file length limit was interceding to prevent backups from occurring correctly. I suggested perhaps UTF-16 or Unicode might be causing trouble, if set as the codepage on some system. From MSDN: Windows stores the long file names on disk in Unicode, which means that the original long file name is always preserved, even if it contains extended characters, and regardless of the code page that is active during a disk read or write operation. The case of the file name is preserved, but the file system is not case-sensitive. So, it's highly unlikely this is the case, as the long filenames are already stored as Unicode on disk.

I think I (maybe) can do a symbolic link, but I'm not sure that's a clean way. from BackupPC's point of view it is. From the package management system's point of view it would probably be cleaner to mount your destination partition (if it is a whole partition) on /var/lib/backuppc or to use a bind-mount (if it is not a whole partition). Copy (or move) anything the package put under /var/lib/backuppc over to the new destination first (or even establish the mount before installing the package). You probably do not have a populated pool there yet, so that should not be a problem. Thanks for your help :D -- Cordialement - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Bingo! That was it. I set the permissions of SELinux to permissive and everything worked hunky dory. Setting up rsyncd on the Windows machine has been a bit of a challenge, but it seems to be working now. Here's the rsyncd.conf file that I'm using: use chroot = false strict modes = false hosts allow * log file = rsync.log pid file = rsync.pid #Module definitions [BackupArea] path = cygdrive/c/ read only = false transfer logging = yes secrets file = /cygdrive/c/Program Files/cwRsyncServer/rsyncd.secrets Secrets file is Administrator:mypassword Both user Administrator and cwRsyncServer are set up with administrative priviliges.

[BackupPC-users] Unexpected instant exit?
I'm backing up over 200 hosts to three big BackupPC servers. I added
5 new clients today and all five are exhibiting the same strange exit
with no discernable errors.
All machines concerned are running debian sarge and BackupPC is
2.1.1. The config file shared for the five boxes:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/proc', '/sys', '/var/lib/mysql', '/
dgisi'];
The command to run is:
sudo /var/backups/rsyncSend --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --
owner --group --devices --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive
--exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/var/lib/mysql --exclude=/
dgisi --ignore-times . /
rsyncSend is:
#!/bin/sh -f
exec /usr/bin/rsync $*
An example error log is:
Contents of file /var/lib/backuppc/pc/dg1.chinoc.net/XferLOG.bad.z,
modified 2007-03-01 14:24:54 (Extracting only Errors)
Running: /usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour -p 8889 -q -x -l backup

numeric-ids --perms --owner --group --devices --links --times --block-
size=2048 --recursive --exclude=/proc --exclude=/sys --exclude=/var/
lib/mysql --exclude=/dgisi --ignore-times . /
Xfer PIDs are now 6052
Got remote protocol 29
Negotiated protocol version 26
Sent exclude: /proc
Sent exclude: /sys
Sent exclude: /var/lib/mysql
Sent exclude: /dgisi
fileListReceive() failed
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (fileListReceive failed)
Backup aborted (fileListReceive failed)
I seem to be able to run the command manually, no problem ( I do
interrupt it after a couple of minutes). When I start a backup from
the web interface, it exits almost immediately.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance,
James
P.S. I see that rsync is 2.6.4 on the server and 2.6.9 on these new
clients. Is this a problem?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Fatal error for empty directory
If the whole share is empty, that is considered indistinguishable from a
general failure. You can control that with
$Conf{BackupZeroFilesIsFatal}. Check the docs for more details.
