Re: [BackupPC-users] Unable to read config.pl after BackupPC update

Jamie, The new config file looks fine to me: it doesn't have any syntax errors, and the values seem to be unchanged from the previous version. To confirm, does it still work correctly if you swap back in the old config file? Was BackupPC also upgraded? Craig On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 3:11 AM,

Re: [BackupPC-users] Don't expand first backed up directory by default?

Jamie, Unfortunately it's not easy to have none open, since the browse code assumes you have selected a particular share. How about this: by default it opens the last one, rather than the first? That way all the other shares will appear first. It's a very simple change if you want to try it.

Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync error buffer overflow

BackupPC 3.x uses older versions of the rsync protocol, which requires the entire file list to be stored in memory. BackupPC 4.x uses pretty up-to-date versions of rsync, which no longer requires the full file list to be stored. So it's likely that BackupPC 4.x will have a better chance of

Re: [BackupPC-users] Watching restore status

What BackupPC version and Xfer method are you using? Version 4.x with rsync does periodically report number of files transferred. You could look at the restore log file, but it isn't flushed to disk that often and it's compressed. Something like this should work: tail -c +0

Re: [BackupPC-users] problem with samba

Micha, I've tested Samba 4.7.0 and it works; I don't think the tar options have changed. The NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE error shouldn't be bogus. But I can't explain why incrementals work. Can you experiment with running smbclient manually to see what options do and don't work? Craig On Thu,

Re: [BackupPC-users] Documentation version discrepancies

To be clear, the documentation link in the BackupPC CGI interface (and all links for things like config parameters) point to the (locally stored) documentation for the version you are running. That way it's consistent with whatever version you are running. Craig On Sat, Nov 18, 2017 at 11:15

Re: [BackupPC-users] Archive to tape library

No, this isn't supported. There are tools (like BackupPC_tarCreate) in BackupPC that could be used with external tools or scripts to write/manage tapes. Or you could run something like Bacula in parallel with BackupPC if you really want tapes. Craig On Thu, Oct 12, 2017 at 11:08 AM, Gandalf

Re: [BackupPC-users] BPC4: checksum

Removing --checksum will make an rsync full behave just like an incremental. An equivalent, and clearer, way to do that is to only do incrementals. BackupPC 4.x allows you to do that. That can be accomplished by setting $Conf{FullPeriod} to a large value. You should also set $Conf{FillCycle}

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backups missing from webpage

Gerald, 3.1 is a pretty old version. But it includes a script bin/BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary which tries to re-create the backups file. I'd recommend making a backup copy of the backups file: su backuppc cd /var/lib/backuppc/pc/wpg-sbs.erlphase.com cp backups backups.save

Have you looked in both the main server log, and the per-host log? An alternative is to manually run BackupPC_dump with the -v option. It should say what it's doing or not doing: su backuppcUser /usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump -v HOST Also, please confirm that your HOST's (and/or main)

Re: [BackupPC-users] netbios name not retrieved

That's not the expected output from nmblookup for a valid netbios host name. If the host has a fixed IP address, it's much better to use that. You can use whatever host name you want, and set $Conf{ClientNameAlias} to its IP address. Craig On Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 6:11 AM, François Dagorn
