Re: [BackupPC-users] rsync on Windows 8?

2013-07-30 Thread Andrew Schulman
 So I've been successfully backing up Windows XP, Vista  7 machines to my 
 BackupPC instance using Cygwin1.dll, Cygrunsrv.exe,  rsync.exe as a windows 
 service.  Then came a Windows 8 laptop to my work.  I tried to install rsync 
 on it like I've done with all of the other Windows flavors, but it failed.  
 The files are located where they should be, and the service gets registered, 
 but when it tries to start the service, it fails.  Event log throws up 
 entries like rsyncd: PID 3092: `rsyncd' service stopped, exit status: 127.  
 Cygwin itself gave some slightly more verbose errors in C:\var\log\rsyncd.log:
 
 /rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries:  cygpopt-0.dll: 
 cannot open shared object file:  No such file or directory
 /rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries:  cygiconv-2.dll: 
 cannot open shared object file:  No such file or directory
 
 Armed with both of these log entries, I downloaded the full blown cygwin, 
 extracted it, and found the appropriate .dlls and copied them to my rsync 
 directory.  Then it gave me this error:
 
 /rsyncd/rsync.exe: error while loading shared libraries:  ?: cannot open 
 shared object file:  No such file or directory
 
 What the deuce?  I have no idea how to troubleshoot this one.  Anyone have 
 any suggestions on how to get rsync working on Windows 8?

Could it be that your rsyncd.exe was compiled against different versions of
those libraries?  Since you've already created a full Cygwin installation,
I suggest starting by trying run the rsyncd that's in that.  If that works,
then you can go back to trying to extract just the pieces you need into a
separate directory (or not).

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup PC and off site data?

2013-01-21 Thread Andrew Schulman
 Has anyone ever used Backuppc to store data off site? By offsite I mean ether 
 to the cloud or to a server at another site.

I use a removeable drive cartridge (CRU Dataport 25).  Once a week I create a
file system snapshot of /var/lib/backuppc, rsync that to an encrypted volume on
the removeable drive, and carry the removeable drive off-site, bringing the
previous one back.

It's sneakernet, but if our building burns down we'll have the last week's
backup stored off-site.  The off-site backups are off-line, which you might or
might not consider a disadvantage.  At least they can't be broken into online.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Offsite copy

2012-06-26 Thread Andrew Schulman
 Hi,
 I currently use BackuPC in a number of ways.
 One of my more recent requirements is to be able to sync the most recent
 backup to an offsite location
 eg.
 I have a backuppc server which backs up itself and a number of clients.
 The most recent of each of these backups must be rsync'd offsite

For a physical solution to this, I use a removable drive cartridge.  Once a week
I rsync the whole backuppc file system (/var/lib/backuppc) onto an encrypted
volume stored on the removable drive, then carry the removable drive off-site. I
rotate three removable drives:  one in the drive bay, one on the shelf for the
next use, and one (the most recent) always stored off-site.

  Hi,

  This part is ok and I have no problem setting up (Except getting the

  As an offsite backup I'd like my onsite backuppc unit to inform my
  offsite backuppc unit that the backup is complete and then the remote
  needs to pull only the most current backup from the onsite.
  So basically a 30 day/6 month onsite backup with the most current
  backup stored offsite
  Can this be done?
 
 I'd look into the archive functionally of backuppc and push the current
 backup as a tarball to the offsite host and not worry about running
 remote backuppc. As you say you are only looking to hold the current
 backup offsite you can simply transfer the current archive with
 scp/rsync/tar over ssh to the offsite host.

Another approach would be to set up an archive host that's mounted on a
network-mounted drive, or on a local directory that's then rsynced over the
network.  See Archive functions in the BackupPC docs.  Then
DumpPostUserCommand etc. might be used to notify the remote server to start
its rsync job.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup of VM images

2011-06-07 Thread Andrew Schulman
 If they don't change between runs, backuppc will pool the new instance 
 with the previous, although a full backup may still take a long time as 
 the block checksum verification is done over the whole file.  If they do 
 change and you use rsync, only the differences will be transferred (to 
 the extent that rsync can find them and resync on the matching parts in 
 a huge file), but the server will use the old copy and the differences 
 to reconstruct a full-sized copy which is slow and won't be pooled with 
 anything else.

Although this is true generally, I don't think it applies in this case.
What you say is true in the case of a single file that has changes in it.
Then rsync efficiently transfers only the delta.

But that doesn't apply in this case, because backuppc doesn't change the
existing VM image in the storage pool.  Instead, it creates an entire new
file, which then has to be transferred completely.  Even if the new file is
99.99% identical some other file in the pool, it won't help because rsync
isn't comparing that file to every other file in the pool.  It's only
comparing the source and target copies of the new file, and the target
doesn't exist yet, so it has to be copied completely from the source.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Andrew.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup of VM images

2011-06-07 Thread Andrew Schulman
 If the file name  path is unchanged then BackupPC/rsync knows to
 compare it with the existing pooled file. The file has to be read and
 checksum'd on both ends (and possibly decompressed on the server side
 if using the cpool) and if there are *any* changes then a new version is
 constructed and written to the pool based on the delta and the
 existing pooled version. However, only the deltas and not the entire
 file is transferred across the slow WAN link -- which is the point of
 this thread.

OK, I think you're right.  I think I was thinking of a different case, of
backing up the backup file system to a remote site.  Thanks.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup of VM images

2011-06-03 Thread Andrew Schulman
 I'm about to set up a remote backup server to backup images of virtual
 machines.
 
 What would the data transfer be (after the intial sneakernet transfer)
 when a remote image gets updated/changed? Filename would not change, but
 contents and maybe size would.

An entire new copy of that day's VM disk image will be created each day.
BackupPC doesn't compute or store diffs, if that's what you were thinking.
All it can do is store a new copy of the entire disk image, if even one
byte has changed in it.

This is likely to be infeasible unless you have a very large amount of
storage and transfer bandwidth.  When I set up BackupPC I quickly realized
that the daily VM images were going to consume all of my backup storage in
a very short time, so I added rules to exclude all of them.

The fallback strategy is to configure each VM internally as a BackupPC
client.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Backup of VM images

2011-06-03 Thread Andrew Schulman
 Hello there... thanks for all your thoughts and feedbacks...
 
   Indeed, the splitting would be OK, but still: I'm in need 
  of backing 
   up a *big file* which may change in some bytes...
  
  Also you have to make sure that that file doesn't change 
  while you are backing/splitting it up otherwise you may be 
  unable to restore it (been there, not pretty trying to 
  recover a corrupted NTFS filesystem).
 
 As far as I know by now is that I'd have to backup with backuppc just
 copies of VM images. This should mean that on the other side there is
 already a tool which creates copies of those VM images, thus I shouldn't
 need to care about any corruption at all (it's not my duty).

The storage cost may be acceptable if you don't keep many copies of each
backup - e.g. just 7 daily backups.  But you'll still need a lot of
transfer bandwidth, with each VM disk image being copied in its entirety
every day.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Disaster Recovery Configuration (Having a Hot Spare BackupPC server)

2011-01-12 Thread Andrew Schulman
 My spare machines are connected by dedicated gigabit fiber in buildings
 3 km apart. Once a week, I take an LVM snapshot, then use dd+ssh to copy
 the entire 1-TB filesystem image to the spare. This takes 14 hours. It's
 still faster than using rsync.

I use a similar approach, but backed up to encrypted volumes on removable
drives (CRU Dataport 25) that I carry off site.  The LVM snapshot is key,
so you get an image of the file system in a consistent state (I always
create the snapshot when backuppc is idle).

A refinement is to alternate among two or more backup drives, so that in
case the primary host goes down during a copy, you don't end up with your
only backup in an inconsistent state.

[BackupPC-users] ERROR: opendir() failed

2010-10-06 Thread Andrew Schulman
Hi.  BackupPC 3.1.0-9ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Lucid, x86_64.

Lately my log files have been full of lines like this one:

2010-10-06 09:40:05 ERROR: opendir
(/var/lib/backuppc/pc/helium/364/f%2fhome/fandrex/fSligo Creek/freports)
failed

Today I have a couple of dozen of these.  I don't remember seeing them
before, but they're in my logs for the last 2 weeks at least.

Every one of these messages is for a directory that didn't exist in the
backup named in the error message, but was created in the following backup.
So they're not really errors - BackupPC appears to have done the right
thing.  They're just log noise.

There's a Debian bug report for this at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=558431.  Discussion
elsewhere on the web suggests that the error comes from rsync.  

Can these errors be turned off?  Is there an rsync switch that could do it?
On one look through the rsync man page I didn't immediately see anything.

Thanks,
Andrew.

[BackupPC-users] diagnosing increases in the backup pool

2010-06-09 Thread Andrew Schulman
Recently the size of my backup pool has suddenly started growing, by about 1G
per day.  I can't sustain that for too long, so I'm trying to figure out where
the differences are coming from.  It's hard.  I'm using find -size to look for
large files in the cpool, and then find -samefile to map them back into files
under pc.  But that's not guaranteed to find the source of the increase.

I've used diff to compare recursive file listings of different directories under
PC, but that's slow work and doesn't seem to be telling me much yet.

I've looked at the file size/count/reuse and compression statistics, but they
don't seem to show much, it's one host at a time, and frankly I can't make much
sense of them anyway.

How have other people addressed this problem?  Has anyone developed any standard
tools or reports that identify changes to the storage pool?

Thanks,
Andrew.

The links for Edit config, Edit hosts, etc. are missing.

In the main area for Server Status, I see Currently running jobs and Failures

statistics of file space usage.

After my boot hard drive died, I changed from Debian to Ubuntu.  I also had to
chown -R backuppc:backuppc /var/lib/backuppc, since the backuppc user's user and
group IDs had changed.  So I guess that this is either a problem with
permissions, or a problem in the Ubuntu package.  But since index.cgi is suid
backuppc, I don't see why there should be a permission problem.

  I'm trying to get backuppc configured.
  I thought I had done the required setup...

I think this last point is the clue.  I you've edited config.pl as root, it may
have become owned by root and not readable by backuppc or www-data (or whatever
your web server user is).  In that case, backuppc will fall back to a default
config, which just backs up /etc.

This happens to me all the time.  If you edit a file as root, some editors will
preserve the file ownership when you save, others (emacs) will change it back to
root.

Try 'ls -l config.pl' and 'chown backuppc:www-data config.pl', then reload the
configuration in the web interface, and look at the config again there to see if
it's correct.

then reload the config through the web interface (or just restart

[BackupPC-users] editing the wiki

2009-10-14 Thread Andrew Schulman
I'd like to add a section or page to the wiki, about usage of
BackupPC_serverMesg.  How do I go about getting edit rights?  My SF user
name is schulman.  Thanks, Andrew.

Ah, okay.  I didn't see that before.  I think it's not linked into the
table of contents anywhere?

 I've added you to the editors group.

Good, thanks.
Andrew.
