Re: [BackupPC-users] Name server problems in hosts or config.pl

 Hello Everyone,
I've been a maintainer of an old install of backuppc until our server
 recently died.  I've reinstalled and brought all other services back
 except for backuppc.  Many of our backup clients are behind routers and
 I had been using the ClientNameAlias option in their respective
 config.pl files.  However, when I try the test command:
 bash-4.1$ /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v $CLIENT
try:
CLIENT='name as in $Conf{ClientNameAlias}'
ping -c2 $CLIENT
sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -f -v $CLIENT
 
 I get the output:
 
 Name server doesn't know about $CLIENT; trying NetBios
 cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /usr/bin/nmblookup $CLIENT
 cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output querying $CLIENT on
 $UNREGISTERED_IP_ON_OUR_SUBNET
 name_query failed to find name $CLIENT
 
 NetBiosHostIPFind: couldn't find IP address for host $CLIENT
 host not found
 
I'm a little confused by the output.  I have the host setup with
 DHCP=0, and rsyncd is my backup method in /etc/config.pl.  I'm not quite
 sure why backuppc is trying to use the hostname as a netbios name, and
 why it seems to ignore the router ip I provide in the client's config.pl
 file.  More perplexing is that nmblookup seems to return an ip address,
 but that ip address is not in use.  It won't resolve using nslookup, so
 I'm can't understand where it was found. Any insight would be greatly
 appreciated.
 Thanks,
 Bruce
 
My Config:
/etc/backuppc/config.pl:
$Conf{NmbLookupPath} = '/usr/bin/nmblookup';
$Conf{PingPath} = '/bin/ping';

/etc/backuppc/CLIENT.pl
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'name of CLIENT';
$Conf{NmbLookupCmd } = '$nmbLookupPath -A $host';
$Conf{NmbLookupFindHostCmd } = '$nmbLookupPath $host';
$Conf{FixedIPNetBiosNameCheck} = '';

 Hi John,
 Thanks for your answer. I have copied the script but sh and bash (either)
 don't recognize the declare command. Is there a way to do it manually?
 Should I try to remove the last partial backup manually from
 /lib/var/backuppc/pc/server/ ?? or should I have to remove any kind of
 extra registry or something? Thank you again!
 
 Kind regards,
 
 Matias
 
No - don't remove it manually because there are some relating data 
anywhere.

Probably you have a link from /bin/bash or /bin/sh to /bin/dash
Check, and install if neccessary, /bin/bash and make sure that it is not 
linked to /bin/dash
