I'm not sure the user would normally want this sort of flexibility.

First, look at $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd}.  You can use it to specify
a command to execute after the restore completes.

Rather than have multiple scripts, I would recommend adding an option to
the CGI interface (see the lib/BackupPC/Lang files), copying the option
value to the restoreReq file (see lib/BackupPC/CGI/Restore.pm) and then
passing that option value to the $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} script (see
bin/BackupPC_restore).  Your $Conf{RestorePostUserCmd} script can then
take that argument and execute the corresponding functions.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Split share into several shares

Hi Kurt,
I would be interested in reading your HowTo for cygwin and rsncyd. As I
tried that on Windows and it was s slw, so, I went back to
Samba.

Let me know when you have done your HowTo and I'll put it through its
paces and add what ever else I find.

Thanks

I had a similar problem when backing up Windows-Clients to my 
BackupPC-Server. Transfer speed was very (no I mean vey) slow.
I've tried rsync over SSH (very slow with cygwin), I tried Samba (had 
problems with user-rights and you can not use exclude and includes at 
the same time) and now I'm using rsyncd and everything seems fine:

I'm recently writing a howto 'Backup Windows Clients with (cygwin) 
rsyncd and BackupPC', and I would be glad to hear feedback.

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc with a NFS pool

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I am trying to configure backuppc to use a NFS mount for backup pool.
I have a problem when I try to access from web interface to a host. It 
takes more than 5 minutes to display.
When I cat /var/log/messages, I have a message from kernel :
lockd: server 192.168.20.14 not responding, timed out

It seems to be a problem with NFS (mounted and functional).
I go through in enabling debug for nlm (NFS lock manager) module with 
command :
echo "65535" > /proc/sys/sunrpc/nlm_debug

I have messages wich are much verbose when I click on web interface :
lockd: call procedure 2 on 192.168.20.14
lockd: nlm_bind_host(c0a8140e)
lockd: server returns status 3
lockd: call procedure 2 on 192.168.20.14
lockd: nlm_bind_host(c0a8140e)
lockd: server returns status 3
lockd: call procedure 2 on 192.168.20.14
lockd: nlm_bind_host(c0a8140e)
lockd: next rebind in 15000 jiffies
lockd: server returns status 3

But it takes really long time to process ...

Any idea ?

Looks okay, too. What happens if you become backuppc and try to create a
hardlink, e.g.
su - backuppc
touch /data/BackupPC/pool/testfile
ln /data/BackupPC/pool/testfile /data/BackupPC/pc/linkedtestfile
ls -l /data/BackupPC/pool/testfile /data/BackupPC/pc/linkedtestfile

What kind of Linux do you use? Did you use some prebuilt packages or did
you install BackupPC from source (.tar.gz)?

Ok.

Sorry, I do not understand these questions. Could you rephrase them?

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup failed (aborted by signal=PIPE) error

[Bruno Faria]

Thanks for the reply Raphael!

Here's what's weird: I don't get this error message all the time for
incremental backups, but now its starting to happen more and more often for
the same hosts that had this problem before. But sometimes incremental
backups will work (very rare though).

Also, the incremental backups are getting stuck in /home directory because
it first starts to backup the /etc directory and that directory is backed up
just fine.

Here's the last error message that I get when the incremental backup is
aborted:

*Child is aborting
Done: 352 files, 39589242 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (aborted by signal=PIPE)
Backup aborted by user signal

*Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup failed (aborted by signal=PIPE) error

I would check the command used for incremental backups. Does it differ from the 
one for full backups? It looks like the utility (tara, rsync, smbclient?) is 
crashing in the middle of the backup operation.

Full backups are working just fine, but I'm getting backup failed (aborted by

Looks okay so far. What does "ls -l /data/BackupPC" say? Do you really
want to backup to the / partition? There's not too much space on it...

[BackupPC-users] New restore option

[Carlos Ananías Del Águila]

Hi all

New to BackupPc... :)

As newbie, i'm not quite sure wich list i should ask this question to.

In the "Restore options for ..." screen there are three options:
   Option 1: Direct Restore
   Option 2: Download Zip archive
   Option 3: Download Tar archive

I'd like to include a new option in order to select different scripts to
execute after restoring the file to a specified location.
This could be like option 1, where i can select host, share and dir
(relative to share) plus a selection element
where i can choose a script to execute via ssh... (the list of scripts could
be in a text file or a database)

My question is ... how do i start? wich part of the backend is related with
this functionality?...
I've no idea about perl, but if i have any clue about where to start i think
i could manage...

Thanks in advance to all

[BackupPC-users] problems with user and CGI interface

[Eric Doutreleau]

well i have a problem with cgi interface and users.

indeed i have put an CAS acces to my backuppc serveur

user that have admin right listed in $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} can see all 
machines.

But i have problems with user

for example i have a line in my host file

cobra3test 0 test test

Then my user should see the backup of cobra3test
in the acces.log of apache i have a line
157.159.21.100 - test [11/Jun/2008:12:19:43 +0200] "GET 
/BackupPC/?ticket=ST-21134-IqHirfJnqHClRvEmBOze HTTP/1.1" 200 2104 "-" 
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 
Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9 Firefox/3.0b5"

then the user is authenticated.
but the user test doesn't see the machine cobra3test

How can i debug the problem?

Hello Hendrik,

I had a similar problem when backing up Windows-Clients to my 
BackupPC-Server. Transfer speed was very (no I mean vey) slow.
I've tried rsync over SSH (very slow with cygwin), I tried Samba (had 
problems with user-rights and you can not use exclude and includes at 
the same time) and now I'm using rsyncd and everything seems fine:

Looking at my logs I can see, that one of my Windows 2000 Clients that 
is connected via 54Mbit Wifi has been backed up in 59 minutes for 2356 MB.
My backup-server is a Pentium-III running Ubuntu Server - so no 
supercomputing-power :-)

If you need 280min for 600MB there must be something wrong.

What Operating System is the client-pc running? Are you using rsync or 
rsyncd? Rsyncd performs much better compared to rsync over SSH with cygwin.

I'm recently writing a howto 'Backup Windows Clients with (cygwin) 
rsyncd and BackupPC', and I would be glad to hear feedback.

Best regards from Berlin
