[BackupPC-users] Problem with backuppc
Hello, We have a server running under debian/sarge with backuppc. All think is right , but my storage space's utilization exceeds now 95% required. Also , we want to back up the pc workstations on an usb extern disk with Backuppc. The problem is how to configure the pc config.file in order to put all the backup data on this external disk. The disks in the server will be used for the backup of the servers only in order to reduce this percentage.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with backuppc
I am sure there are others that will chime in on this but as I see it you have a few options. 1. Setup LVM and use the external disk as a permanent addition to the system 2. Mount the external disk as the directory that will house your desktops backups Honestly, I would be wary about using an external USB disk. Alot of them have power saving features that will power it down after a short period and could cause issues with your backups. I would invest in another internal drive or even mount via NFS or iSCSI another drive in a separate machine.

[BackupPC-users] Multi Profiles
Hi, Just started using backuppc and it is a great tool. I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple profiles for the one host. For example if you want to backup /home daily but only backup the system files (/etc, /boot etc.) on a weekly basis. This sounds like I would need two hostname.pl files but how would that be handled.

No problem. I have 10's of profiles for a particular file server. One for
each user. So that I can allow individual users do their own restores.
For example if you want to backup /home daily but only backup the system
files (/etc, /boot etc.) on a weekly basis.
This sounds like I would need two hostname.pl files but how would that

Yep, two different hostname.pl files using the same $Con{ClientNameAlias}
setting in each pointing to the actual hostname.

[BackupPC-users] Did backuppc/rsync end up finishing successfully?
One of my recent backup logs had a single error as follows: ... create d 700 1005/513 0 spoolerlogs Remote[1]: rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at /home/lapo/packaging/rsync-3.0.6-1/src/rsync-3.0.6/io.c(200) [sender=3.0.6] Read EOF: Then the log proceeds: Tried again: got 0 bytes delete 700 1005/5131024 Documents and Settingsnetworkingntuser.dat.LOG delete 700 1005/513 262144 Documents and Settingsnetworkingntuser.dat Child is aborting Done: 969 files, 587612347 bytes So my questions are as follows: 1. What does the Read EOF line mean and is it likely to be the cause or effect (or unrelated) to the previous rsync timeout? 2. When the log says Tried again: got 0 bytes and proceeds to list two more files before aborting, does that mean that the backup resumed and completed successfully? If so, were any files likely to be lost? 3. When it says Child is aborting, is that a normal completion or is there an issue?

[BackupPC-users] Suggestion for improvement of BackupPC_dump
Problem:
It isn't unusual that internet connections abort once a day. A lot of
providers are doing that. Therefore it isn't unusual too that a full
backup aborts and will be saved as an partial backup. If the next full
backup aborts too, it will only be saved if it contains more files than
the previous partial.
If a big file will be added on client after a partial backup is stored
than it is possible that the transfer of this new file, within the next
full run, needs a lot of time. If this full backup aborts too than it is
possible that it contains less files than the previous backup. It will be
cancelled and this big file have to be retransmitted within the next full
run.
In average I can transmit 6GB per day, depending on the internet upload
bandwith of the client. So it isn't unlikely that I will never backup this
client, because of the above problem.
Don't advise the $Conf{PartialAgeMax}. This would change a reliable
backup into a game of luck ;-) (I know, that's not really true. But I didn't
believe this would be a reliable solution)
Solution:
BackupPC_dump compare the filecount and decide if the old partial backup
must be removed or not. If BackupPC_dump remove the old partial it will
rename the $TopDir/pc/$client/new directory into $TopDir/pc/$client/nnn
after this. In the other case it will only remove the
$TopDir/pc/$client/new.
Instead this, BackupPC_dump should move the $TopDir/pc/$client/new
always over $TopDir/pc/$client/nnn, overwriting existing files and
creating new files in $TopDir/pc/$client/nnn. The NewFileList contains
all new files anyway. Therefore BackupPC_link should do his job perfectly
too.
Advantage:
+ All transmitted files will be saved within the actual backup.
Nevertheless if a full backup will be aborted after a short or long time
or not.
+ The continuation (strictly speaking the 2nd or later continuation) of a
partial backup must not retransmit files which are always transmitted.
Disadvantage:
None known.
Such a full backup can have a duration of more than a few days. It is not
sure which version of changed files are in the backup or not. But the
duration of a [full] backup isn't really influenceable. So also without
the above improvement we didn't know which version of a file is within
the backup.
e.g.: If we use snapshots and a file will be deleted after the start of a
backup it will be stored within the backup. If we don't use snapshots that
isn't sure. It depends from the time where it was deleted. If we use
different shares the above case isn't sure too.
There is no different between the BackupPC_dump implementation and the above
suggestion, but less retransmits.
What is your opinion about this?

The last log for trashClean was 9 days ago and just gave the startup message: 2009-11-09 22:38:11 Running BackupPC_trashClean (pid=17217) So, somehow it was running for the last 9 days but neither removed the trash nor logged an error.

Hi,
to be honest I don't have a clue if your suggested solution will fix or
npt break something else.
But what I know is that I had the same issue. I solved it by upgrading
the line to a leased line ;)
But on other clients I still backup over broadband lines with cut-offs
after 24hrs. :-(
So if this is a solution I'd second that to implement it in a future
