Re: [BackupPC-users] Yum to Tar

Timothy,
Its really fairly simple to set up an rpm build environment. First, you
need a .rpmmacros that will live in your home directory. Say, for example,
your home directory is in /home/tomer, your .rpmmacros file would look like:
%_topdir /home/tomer/rpm
%_tmppath /var/tmp
#%debug_package %{nil}
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Its pretty basic, but should get the rpm build done.
Next, you need to create the following directory tree:
/home/tomer
- rpm
- BUILD
- RPMS
- SOURCES
- SPECS
- SRPMS
Next, get the srpm of backuppc-3.1.0 and install it. It should install to
the /home/tomer/rpm tree (e.g. the tarball in SOURCES and the spec file in
SPECS).
Place the tarball for backuppc-3.2.0 into SOURCES.
Edit the backuppc spec file, pointing the source filename to the 3.2.0 file
you just copied to SOURCES. Also make sure you remove the files from the
%files section near the bottom. We will be filling this back in later.
Once you are confident you have the spec file in decent shape, you want to
run rpmbuild. I do it in stages, taking each section individually. Do not
proceed to the next step until the current one completes error free:
rpmbuild -bp backuppc.spec - this will run the %prep section
rpmbuild -bc backuppc.spec - this will run the %prep and %build section
rpmbuild -bi backuppc.spec - this will run the %prep, %build and %install
section
At this point, there will be a list of files that are not included in the
spec file. Cut and paste these into the %files section of the spec file,
then run the rpmbuild -bi again. You should come out with no errors.
rpmbuild -ba backuppc.spec - this will run the complete build, generate
.rpm and .srpm files. You can then install the rpm from
/home/tomer/rpm/RPMS/arch, or copy it to your backuppc box and install it
there.
The instructions are pretty generic, but should point you in the right
direction. I am a Debian guy, but have done the odd rpm in my day. :)

CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
BackupPC 3.1.0 via Yum
Hey all,
I installed BackupPC via Yum on my CentOS box, I would like to move to
the most recent version and therefore to the tar install. Looking over
the docs I see warnings about mixing Yum and Tar.
What is the best method for me to upgrade, complete Yum uninstall and
Tar install. Will I keep all my current config, clients and backups
If anyone has done this and can provide some direction would be very
helpful.
Thank you!

Thanks for your comments guys, I do want to avoid the RPM path as I dont
really want to add an extra layer of steps when installing, from Tar is fine
for my needs, I just need to be sure I know what files I must restore.
Looking at the Docs I believe the ConfDir holds all that I must restore. I
anyone believes I'm missing something please do shout!
Thanks

[BackupPC-users] Nightly script trigger?
Is there a way (other than editing the code) to trigger a script after BackupPC_Nightly finishes? We are setting up an off-site copy of our pool and I'd like to trigger this right after the Nightly script finishes. I can just set up a cronjob for a time that all of the backups are likely to be finished, but having BackupPC do it automatically would be nice. --Tod -- Download new Adobe(R) Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 The new Adobe(R) Flex(R) 4 and Flash(R) Builder(TM) 4 (formerly Flex(R) Builder(TM)) enable the development of rich applications that run across multiple browsers and platforms.

Hi,
I have a new release of the BackupPC_deleteBackup script.
Unfortunately I can't put it into the wiki
(http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=How_to_delete_backups).
Jeffrey would do that but I didn't reach him via email :-(
Sorry - I didn't receive any such email. Probably the best way to
reach me is via the mailing list if email fails.
Of course, Matthias is the original owner -- I just added a few tweaks
;)
For my own internalversion control, can you tell me if any behaviors
changed other than adding --remove
Note I did a diff and noticed a fair number of changes but wasn't sure
which are cosmetic, which are bug fixes, which are polish and
which are significant. The reason I am asking is that I notice at
least one change that would break the script on my
install. Specifically, the Fedora package version stores the config in
/etc/BackupPC while you changed it to /etc/backuppc. For this change
maybe the path could look both places or maybe there should be a
user-defined variable at the top of the script.
Beyond that, I was wondering whether any of the fixes or changes
may similarly work on some systems but cause breaks on others.
Hi Jeffrey,
All improvements which was provided in the wiki are included in this new
release.
In addition I've added:
- remove XferLOG.number[.z] together with backup number
- --remove will remove a host from the /etc/backuppc/hosts as well as all of
his backups
- (today) look for /etc/BackupPC as well as for /etc/backuppc
All the rest from a diff should be cosmetics or changes which implemented
not from me.
So I would believe you can change the wiki text into:
How to delete backups from the archive:
Put this script somewhere in your path. It includes usage information when
run without arguments.
It will remove incremental backups too, if a full backup should be removed
where the incrementals based on. The incrementals will also be removed if
they are filled. Here is room for improvement :-)
FreeBSD
if you want to use BackupPC on a FreeBSD system, you have to change
the 'stat' calls. Change the two occurencies of the line:
BackupTime=`stat -c %y
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo | awk '{print $1}'`
into
BackupTime=`stat -f %Sm -t %Y-%m-%d
$TopDir/pc/$client/$BackupNumber/backupInfo`
