Either use the CGI interface to display the XferLOG file, or use
BackupPC_zcat from the command line.

[BackupPC-users] Troubleshooting assistance for Bad Transfer

2018-08-28 Thread Jaime Fenton

Hi there,

On advice from craigbarrett, I'm posting this query here.

https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/issues/218

I've gone to the XferLog file and it's gibberish. Is there a way to compile 
that file or advice on troubleshooting that file that can give me some insight 
as to why my backups are having fatal errors?

Thanks in advance,
Jaime

Re: [BackupPC-users] No admin privilege with SCGI method

2018-08-28 Thread Timmy Siu via BackupPC-users

Hello Christopher,
The full admin control panel finally works but with some strange thing!

Here is my file /etc/httpd/conf.d/BackupPC.conf content:
#
Alias    /BackupPC    /var/www/html/BackupPC
ScriptAlias    /BackupPC_Admin        /BackupPC_Admin
SCGIMount /BackupPC_Admin 127.0.0.1:4000


order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/BackupPC/BackupPC.users
AuthName "BackupPC Community Edition Administrative Interface"
require valid-user

##

I also set backuppc with a password in the file /etc/BackupPC/BackupPC.users

I also set $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}='backuppc' in the file config.pl.

However, when I browse to http://localhost/BackupPC_Admin , I will get
banned by "403 Forbidden".
After I've removed this line from the above file:
ScriptAlias /BackupPC_Admin /BackupPC_Admin
I will then get full admin access to the control panel with being asked
for authentication.

How do I repair the Apache authentication process?

Yours faithfully,
Timmy

Re: [BackupPC-users] ver 4.x split using ssd and hdd storage - size requirements?

2018-08-28 Thread Mike Hughes

The partition where the "pc" folder lives needs to be larger than the size of 
your largest backup target. It will grow to the size of whatever is being 
backed up at that moment. If you have simultaneous backups, I believe it could 
grow larger than your largest backup target.

Here is how I came to that conclusion: I have been monitoring changes in the 
size of the "pc" folder every second to learn how to anticipate disk usage and 
build a better server. These are the highs and lows experienced over a typical 
evening:

01:00:29   0G
01:04:30   2G
01:07:57   1G
01:11:36   6G
01:22:16   0G
01:27:13   1G
01:31:41   0G
01:53:22   25G
02:12:39   0G
02:31:10   23G
03:05:59   0G

This was measured while backing up seven RHEL web/mysql servers on a LAN; some 
with large database dumps. All backups triggered at 1:00a and most completed in 
20 minutes. The other two servers performed full backups and took about two 
hours each, and must be responsible for the 20GB spikes. I can confirm by 
looking at the "File Size/Count Reuse Summary" table that their sizes are 
20-25GB. Add to that the potential of simultaneous runs so be sure your "pc" 
folder is on a large enough partition.

That was a really good idea and I think you nailed it. Here's a one-second 
update on used space for the /var partition during an incremental backup:

[Cent-7:root@hostname ~]# while printf '%s ' "$(df -P /var | awk 'NR==2 { print 
$(NF-1) }')"; do sleep 1; done

Re: [BackupPC-users] No admin privilege with SCGI method

2018-08-28 Thread Christopher Diekkamp

Hi Timmy,

did the browser ask for authentication?

You have to setup a correct htpasswd file.

Also, set the correct user for $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} in your config file.

It's also a good idea to check that backuppc gets the correct user name
from the brower.

[BackupPC-users] No admin privilege with SCGI method

Dear All BackupPC Users,

I have finally installed BackupPC v4.2.1.  However, it does not show any
admin function after I have connected to its control panel (as shown in
the attachment).

How do I correct it?
My system is: Oracle Linux 7.5 amd64 (RHEL 7.5 clone), Apache 2.4.6,
BackupPC v4.2.1.

Thanks in advance.
