[BackupPC-users] User ID's

2015-01-06 Thread Curtis Vaughan
As part of the process of moving a mail server from one server to another I set up a new server and added all the users. As a test I restored the backup for one of the user's mailboxes to the new server, when I realized an issue. The UID and GID for each user are different on both servers. So m

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc & Win2016

2017-11-28 Thread Curtis Vaughan
Been using Backuppc for Windows and Linux servers for years now, added a Win2016 server and have set it up as usual, but it won't back up the server. Can't figure out what's going on and the logs are no help either. If from the server I try a rsync --list-only it lists everything. I used to a

[BackupPC-users] Backing up laptop as available

2008-06-18 Thread Curtis Vaughan
I was wondering if there was a way to make backuppc backup laptops as the become available on the network. I don't want it to be dependent on the user (I saw something about users starting the process themselves using Unison). If there is no such thing, I could of course set a schedule for when

[BackupPC-users] Redirecting backup to 2nd drive

2009-07-01 Thread Curtis Vaughan
My backuppc server has 2 HDs. Up to the present I have been backing up all machines to one drive. But now I am adding a machine to backup and want it's backups to go to the 2nd HD. My original idea was to just create a symbolic link for the new machine under the pc directory where all the backups a

[BackupPC-users] Backuppc not completing backups

2009-07-29 Thread Curtis Vaughan
Backuppc was performing an rsync back up one Windows XP system, on which Cygwin is installed, for years now. But now it starts the backup and seems to just hang there. That is, I can see it's backed up a number of files and directories, placing them in the appropriate .../new/ directory, but then a

[BackupPC-users] Lost /var/lib/backuppc

2013-03-19 Thread Curtis Vaughan
So, I had a separate drive dedicated to /var/lib/backuppc where all the backups were stored and other obviously important directories. But that drive experienced total failure and I've replaced it. What do I need to do to get backuppc to reconfigure that drive with all the directories it needs.

Les was on the money. It was the fact that /var/lib/backuppc is the home directory for backuppc and I wasn't testing as backuppc. Reinstalling the keys to the other server fixed the prob! -- Own the Future-Intel(R) Leve

So, my backuppc server's primary disk had a failure. In the end I reinstalled Debian 5 and backuppc 3.1.0. The drive that has all the backups is a separate drive. It also has a backup of the former backuppc. How do I go about telling the new Backuppc Server to take the backups of the former local h
