[BackupPC-users] How to deactive the file mangling on backups ?

Hello, BackupPC seems a great tool. The only - main - drawback for me is the file name mangling on (mainly rsync) backups (backuppc adds an f to every folder of file backuped). I've read the few information about that (that it wasn't activated on old versions, and why it has been), but i really

Re: [BackupPC-users] Per host host.pl not found on new CentOS 6.3 install

Thanks for the support guys. You're right, once I edited the per host config the directory and files showed up. I was having a weird issue where it's passing a -N flag in the smbclient backup command string which denotes anonymous access even though I supplied a password. I removed it and can

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to deactive the file mangling on backups ?

The point is that it barely miss nothing to have a browsable uncompressed rsynced backup folder for people willing to retrieve files from that directly. It's the default rsync behavior. I'm pretty sure every point you are presenting could be dealt in another way. Attrib files could have a really

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to deactive the file mangling on backups ?

I believe there is a fuse filesystem that gives you a filesystem level view of unmangled filenames for backup PC trees. For the rest of us, making the backup PC tree directly browsable by rsync really does not have much value. For the rest of us, making a tar or zip restore is sufficient, and

[BackupPC-users] Proper way to remove all but most recent backups

I am trying to figure out the proper way to remove all but the most recent backups on our system. I could just: cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname rm -rf XX (for each old backup) /usr/share/backuppc/bin/Backuppc_nightly 0 255 (to actually remove the files from the pool) But is there another way?

I believe there is a fuse filesystem that gives you a filesystem level view of unmangled filenames for backup PC trees. That would do the trick. I'll investiage it, thanks for the clue ( https://svn.ulyssis.org/repos/sipa/backuppc-fuse/backuppcfs.pl - other users had the same need than mine,
