Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC failing to back up a host with big files

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC data pool
Sorry for the late reply. anything/everything in a VM is an attraction. :-) I had hoped for a pre-configured VM appliance so I could easily evaluate it. I did not have such an easy implementation experience (as evidenced by apparent exhaustion of this listserv during the process). Being able to download, turn on, and make a few modifications to implement in an environment is a good way to promote good software. Seems that a VM would serve just fine in smaller environments (including home use), and should it need to grow beyond the performance capacity of a VM, then one could move to a physical solution. In the case of a S.B.H. event (Smoking Black Bole), that's what I would have it configured as an off-site iSCSI target (I have the benefit of dark fiber). Similarly, as a VM, I can replicate the BackupPC appliance offsite as well, thus my DR site would have all the backups, and a VM copy to mount and use it. Good to know about rSync - thanks.

And if you end up sharing physical media with the source targets, you shouldn't even call it a backup. Les - as for the offsite copies of the archive, you're speaking of a backup of the backup. For the purpose that BackupPC provides, non-critical data, I'm not so concerned with backing up the backup. What's your plan for a building disaster? If it is 'collect the insurance and retire' then you probably don't care about offsite copies... However, should BackupPC start holding backups that I would need redundancy for, what do you recommend? What are you doing? Since I'm thinking SAN-based storage for BackupPC, I figured I would just use SAN-based replication. If you aren't sharing the media with the data you are trying to protect, that would work. But, if you have the site-to-site bandwidth for that, it would be much cheaper to just run the backups over rsync from a backuppc server at the opposite site.I have mostly converted to that approach now, but an older setup that is still running has a 3-member RAID1 where one of the drives is swapped out and re-synced weekly. These were initially full sized 750 Gig drives, but I'm using a laptop size WD (BLACK - the BLUE version is too slow...) for the offsite members now. Other people do something similar with LVM mirrors or snapshot image copies. But should that not be wise or available, would you just stand up an rSync target and just rSync /var/lib/BackupPC to some offisite target? The number of hardlinks in a typical backuppc archive make that a problem or impossible at some point because rsync has to track and reproduce them by inode number, keeping the whole table in memory. I think a zfs snapshot with incremental send/receive might work, but you'd need freebsd or solaris instead of linux for that. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC data pool
Wow - great posts here - thank you; good information. I just recently been introduced to BackupPC and I've been pursuing this as a VM appliance to backup non-critical targets. Thus, as a VM, I would use remote storage (iSCSI) to provide capacity instead of local virtual disk. High-value data is currently being backed up with an enterprise level product (Commvault http://www.commvault.com/simpana-software/). I figured BackupPC could backup end-user PCs on an opt-in basis and other low value targets - things we don't currently have backups for. This BackupPC appliance enables me to repurpose a bunch of high capacity drives I have laying around. Should BackupPC become more heavily utilized and suffer in performance, then I accept that it will need to be (should be) a physical solution as you all have stressed.

[BackupPC-users] SmbClient for Workgroup and Domain authentication
I'm in an environment where some workstation may be in the domain, others not. However, either way, we'll have a backuppc user account for connecting to the machine for smb backup. Instead of having to choose one or the other username (backuppc vs. Domain/backuppc) and having to do a client override for the other, I was hoping to be able to create/define a wrapper script such that it will attempt connection using the domain credentials: $smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U Domain/backuppc and if that fails, try connecting with the local user account $smbClientPath \\$host\$shareName $I_option -U backuppc Do any of you creative geniuses know how I can make that happen? -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[BackupPC-users] BackupFilesExclude for SMB
From this FAQ regarding subject: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=Smb_exclude It got me closer, I've reduced the number of errors down pretty well. But it's far from intuitive. For example, to skip these files: NTUSER.DAT ntuser.dat.LOG1 ntuser.dat.LOG2 UsrClass.dat UsrClass.dat.LOG1 UsrClass.dat.LOG2 the entries that (finally) worked are (on the CGI page is): *NTUSER.DAT *ntuser.dat.LOG? *UsrClass.dat *UserClass.dat.LOG? using any form of just the filename didn't work - prepending a wildcard is what finally got me over that hump. Also, filenames are case sensitive. I was also able to successfully skip a set of user profile directories (TestUser1, TestUser2, ...) like this: *\TestUser? But still, I have not found how to skip JUNCTION directories. I've tried: \Users\*\My Music\* *\My Music\* HOW CAN WE INCLUDE KNOWN JUNCTIONS IN BackupFilesExclude LIST?!?!?! If I can get this final piece to work, I will have near 0 errors on my Windows SMB backups.

Probably somewhere in CGI/View.pm wherever your package installed.
But I think it just does some filtering on the same Xferlog you get in
the full view, and I'd be more concerned about eliminating the errors
than why you are seeing some non-error lines.

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_Link takes ages
Initial backups on the new server would take longer than what you're seeing with the established server which only needs to do changes after having done the initial full. Your new server has already done the initial backups of your host and it's the subsequent backups that are taking so long? But on this topic, my new server seems slow, with only a 3-4 MB/s speed rating on a GB network (Windows backup over SMB). Is this normal? What kind of speeds should I be expecting?

And just for the record: before the re-setup, it managed the same amount of backups and the same hosts. Now while comparing BackupPC logs to another big BackupPC-server on our side, I recognized that BackupPC-Link takes ages for every backupped host on the new server, while it's incredibly fast on the other BackupPC server. Even for hosts with several 100GB of data, BackupPC_Link takes only few minutes on the old BackupPC server. On the new (re-setup) one, it takes several hours up to days for backupped hosts. Do you have any idea or suggestions why BackupPC_Link takes that long and how we can change it?

Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC_Link takes ages
Good thread here. Jonas - sorry for my reply about the initial backups - you clearly know what you're doing, and thus you're issue is after your initial backups. That XFS might be the problem sounds plausible. Please report back what you find for those of us following this thread. Finally, what are typical SMB backup speeds I should be seeing?

The pc/$HOST directory shrinks a lot during the link-process, so I consider this as evidence that pooling actually works as expected. I did recognize though, that the pool directory is empty on all BackupPC servers. All pooled files seem to be stored in cpool instead. Is this expected? compressed files are in cpool, so this suggests you have compression enabled (for file storage, not in transit). This is 'normal'. 2) Filesystem or hard drive layout/configuration (ie, RAID level, layout, chunk size, ext3 compared to jfs, etc) As written above: moved from ext3 to xfs as we thought that this might increase performance. Obviously this is the big change, so you should probably start here. I would suggest reading up on how to optimize xfs for backuppc, or generically, a large number of small read/writes. I recently subscribed to the linux-raid mailing list for a backuppc related issue in fact, and saw a few un-related (to me) posts regarding default raid stripe size, and (I think it was) xfs file system being problematic. I think there is some relationship with the FS storing some type of data every x bytes per disk, and if this data all ends up on the same physical disk (or in your case pair of disks) then you end up with a dis-proportionate amount of load on a small subset of your disk array. It seems you are using hardware raid which presents the disk as sdk, however, the basic idea would still apply (stripe size of the raid and block size of the FS). I'd suggest to subscribe to the xfs mailing list, and/or look into how you should optimise your filesystem to improve performance (defaults are not always ideal).

[BackupPC-users] Send Test email
As referenced herehttp://www.backupcentral.com/phpBB2/two-way-mirrors-of-external-mailing-lists-3/backuppc-21/email-problem-in-backuppc-72173/, there was talk of providing a way for sending test emails. It would be nice to have this ability to test/verify email setup within BackupPC web GUI. However, how/where does BackupPC know what SMTP server to use for sending email? Is there a configuration option somewhere to specify an SMTP server to use? Logged in as the backuppc user, I am running: BackupPC_sendEmail -t |less And it shows the email content, but not whether it was successful sending it, or if it was sent at all. I haven't received the email, so there seems to be some configuration I'm missing somewhere. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[BackupPC-users] Scripted reload of server configuration
I have developed a self provisioning ability whereby users go to a secure
page on BackupPC, enter their credentials, and their workstation they
logged in from automatically gets added to /etc/BackupPC/hosts. However,
though it's seen and selectable via the BackupPC web page, trying to
initiate an immediate full backup produces Host unknown error, which I
have learned that the backuppc daemon is not aware of the change to the
hosts file.
I see that the perl module,
/usr/share/BackupPC/lib/BackupPC/CGI/ReloadServer.pm allows the daemon to
become aware of the hosts file change. How can I call this module from the
