[BackupPC-users] how to backup restore with incremental file
Hi I have taken the backup via backuppc regularly. Now problem is that backuppc taking a 3 incremental backup and then taking a full backup. suppose that system taking backup on fri taking a full backup and on sat,sun,mon incremental backup. suppose my system goes down on sunday when I checked in backup system there were incremental backup on it. If I want to restored the full backup then I have to choose the friday backup but then I will missed the sat,sun backup. what I required to do to restored the full backup with latest files. ! +-- |This was sent by niraj.v...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

I have a few ideas, many of which involve NOT posting the exact same thing to the same list half a dozen times. I'm guessing that you're using smbclient, and note that the error message is in how long it takes to list a directory. All kinds of things can affect performance; for example, if you're posting messages to a mailing list at an insane rate from the same directory, it may slow things down. You can always increase the smbclient timeout, or use a different backup method. -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar exited with error 36096
Thanks Craig and Stephen for taking the time to dive into this, and excuse for my late reply (have been out of town, could not access the backupserver). My tar version is 1.22 (2009) as far as I could test, it supports file and link-names longer than 100 characters. It's part of ubuntu server 11.04. Although the Dropbox directory generates errors, which suggests characterset-problems, some regular native ext4 directories (with longer directory/file names) also produce errors. I have the impression it is not an characterset problem. For some reason I CAN make incremental backups (which do report errors on the long directory names). But the process does not crash. One detail which may be important. I use an external USB disk (2GB), mounted on /home/backuppc. I have linked /var/lib/backuppc - /home/backuppc. My last full backup is of januari 2013, without any errors. The directory structure has not changed significantly (the directories producing errors now did exist at that time, but were fully accessible, no size-limits present). The system design has not changed since then, neither have the system been updated. Is there a way to increase the debug reporting level to get more clues?

I have a small pool of approximately 300 GB on a Linux server, and currently use rsync to copy the pool to storage and keep it updated. That mechanism won't scale much farther. Rsync chokes on the number of files that BackupPC (at least the 3.x version) uses, because of the hardlinks. Agreed, which is one of the reasons I want to replace rsync, and takes me back to my original question: Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences to share with using CrashPlan, or any similar provider [1], for backing up their pool?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar exited with error 36096
Mike,
Is there a way to increase the debug reporting level to get more clues?
Les' suggestions are a good way to see if it is a problem on the source
file system.
For BackupPC, first try to limit the backup to the smallest case that shows
the problem (by excluding files or creating a simple test tree to back up).
Then set $Conf{XferLogLevel} to 9. You should get a lot of output in the
XferLOG file.
You then have several options, eg: (1) send the XferLOG file to the list if
it short, or to me if it is large - first make sure it doesn't contain
anything confidential like file names, host names, IP addresses etc (2) try
running manually the tar command (that generates the archive) that is shown
in the top of the XferLOG file, and pipe the output to tar -tvf -. Does
it run successfully? Do you see the full path?
