Re: [BackupPC-users] botched move of cpool directory
Matthew Washburn wrote: I have a situation here. I installed and upgraded BackupPC 7 and 3 months ago, repectively, and have since rarely touched the thing. I know when I did the upgrade I did something with the pool directories. If my memory serves me correctly I believe I moved them from /home/backuppc/pc to /home/backuppc, although i could have done the reverse (apologies for the spacyness), and did some string replacement on /usr/share/backuppc/bin replacing all instances of 'pc/ cpool' with '/cpool'. In any event, my current situation is that I currently have both directories /home/backuppc/cpool and /home/ backuppc/pc/pool (no more pool?) in existence, $TopDir is set to / home/backuppc in /etc/config.pl, the current size of /home/backuppc/ cpool is 0, and despite having everything that I can see in the config scripts/perl files referencing /home/backuppc/cppool nothing is backing up there. Everything is still going to /home/backuppc/pc/ cpool. This has caused me to recently go into /usr/share/backuppc/ bin/BackupPC_nightly and change $TopDir to /home/backuppc/pc/cpool in order to clean some old backups out. I didn't look at this thing for a while and my disk all filled up. I would like to tidy up this install and have both cpool and trash residing in /home/backuppc. Does anyone have any idea why data is not currently being placed in /home/backuppc/cpool and still going into /home/backuppc/pc/cpool?I have even tried backing up brand new boxes and have had the same results I believe there are more files that have the path hardcoded. I believe they were once discussed on this list. Nils Breunese. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[BackupPC-users] Backing up excluded directories
I have figured out most of BackupPC, but on some machine, directories
excluded in their configuration files are still being backed up.
From target machine's configuration file:
$Conf{SmbShareName} = 'sarah';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/MYMUSI~1','/WINDOWS','PROGRA~1'];
Two sections from the log for last night's incremental backup follow.
From the very top of it:
Running: /usr/bin/smbclient yoohoo\\sarah -I 192.168.1.9 -U buop -E -N -d 1
-c tarmode\ inc -TcNrX /var/lib/backuppc/pc/yoohoo/timeStamp.level0 - /MYMUSI~1
/WINDOWS PROGRA~1
Xfer PIDs are now 18432,18431
cmdExecOrEval: about to exec /usr/bin/smbclient yoohoo\\sarah -I
192.168.1.9 -U buop -E -N -d 1 -c tarmode\ inc -TcNrX
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/yoohoo/timeStamp.level0 - /MYMUSI~1 /WINDOWS PROGRA~1
Getting files newer than Fri May 4 13:13:13 2007
tar_re_search set
Domain=[YOOHOO] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
tarmode is now incremental, system, hidden, noreset, verbose
and then further down, what I thought had been excluded:
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/ABBA
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/ABBA/Flip n Fill
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/ACDC
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/Aerosmith
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/Afro Man
create d 755 0/0 0 My Music/Aimee Mann
Suggestions or a steer in the right direction would be appreciated.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backing up excluded directories
James,
Thank you for the suggestion, but it did not work. The script never
enters Program Files or Windows, but has no such hesitation about
My Music.
I have had another thought - could it be continuing to visit this
directory because it was included in the original full backup?
Regards - Miles Thompson

you may need to add '/My\ Music' or '/My Music' to your list of

escape the space (using the backslash) or whether '/My Music' will
work, one of those two should work though, I would guess that this is
happening because samba accesses the folders with their full names
rather than their msdos shortened names
let me know if that works for you

What does the smb share sarah refer to? My guess is a user's directory
under Documents and Settings. If so, that is why two of the excludes
appear to work. The third exclude will most likely work with a backslash
instead of the forward slash e.g. '\My Music' or '\My\ Music'.

[BackupPC-users] rsync or tar?
Hello to all, I am new in this List. We have a small office with 5 Mac OSX (10.4) and 3 PCs (XP). We decided to back up with Backuppc. The last few hours I searche the mailinglist and read a lot. But I am still not sure if: * it is better to use rsync or tar because of the resource forks? * I have to install additional software like xtar on the Macs? * How would a sample.pl configurationfile look if I just want to back up the folder /customers? This I can find out by myself. -- Thank you very much. Markus - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
