[BackupPC-users] How to exclude directories from backing up.
I want to exclude the directory which contains vmware virtual machines.
I have tried to exclude it on my localhost computer and on my windows
laptop. But both of them are still trying to backup the directory I
want to exclude.
Have I used the wrong formatting?
I have searched the archives, but I still couldn't figure out what is wrong.
All help appreciated. Thanks.
Krsnendu dasa
The location on the local host is
/home/krsnendu/Virtual Machines
Using the web interface I typed exactly the same as above for the
variable: BackupFilesExclude
In the config file it looks like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/home/krsnendu/Virtual Machines' = [
''
]
};
For the windows machine:
The share name is Educator which maps to
c:\Documents and Settings\Educator
Using the web interface for BackupFilesExclude I typed:
/My Documents/My Virtual Machines/*
In the config file it looks like this:
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/My Documents/My Virtual Machines/*' = [
''
]
};

Install the new harddisk and set the mountpoint to /var/lib/backupc 3. copy all data stored on the old harddisk to the new one with rsync -H /old_harddisk /new_var/lib/backuppc 4. start backuppc rsync -paH or something might be better, but because of all the hardlinks it might take quite a while to copy all the data. The fastest way to copy and preserve everything is probably to use dd to copy everything to the new drive and then grow the filesystem afterwards. I have a dedicated disk for BackupPC it is using LVM. Can I use dd to clone this to a newer harddrive? - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to extract information on duplicate files from BackupPC
You might consider fslint It is designed specifically for this task. On 15/06/07, Craig Barratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David writes: Is there an easy way to extract information on what files BackupPC has found are duplicate? I'd like to eliminate duplicate files on my system, and since BackupPC has already gone to the work of identifying them, I'd like to get some sort of report listing the paths (relative to the original system(s)) to the duplicated files I've looked in the documentation and searched the mail list archives, but haven't found this. My apologies if this has been covered before; feel free to point me to the appropriate URL if so. You need to find all the files with same inode. You can do that with find, but that is expensive. Three years ago Yaroslav Halchenko reported that he had modified the linux locate tool to also save the inode in its database. That allows very fast lookups via inode (after the fixed overhead of crawling the tree to update the locate db). He posted his scripts here: http://www.onerussian.com/Linux/ilocate/ilocate.phtml Craig - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[BackupPC-users] parity on archive files
I just did my first archive. I split the archives into 4482MB files (which is the capacity of a DVD in MB from what I can figure out.) I also set the parity to 5%. As you can see below 7 archive files were created and 8 parity files. The documentation is a bit thin in the archive section so I have a few questions. 1. What is parity? What are the parity files for and How do you use them with the archives? 2. I chose bZ2 for my backup, to minimize disk usage. The archiving took 680mins to backup. If I chose gzip instead how much difference would there be? How much bigger would the archive be and how much faster would it be. I am planning to do quite a few backups to DVD in future, so I thought now would be the time to ask. ls -alh of the DVD backup directory: drwxr-x--- 2 BackupPC BackupPC 4.0K Apr 14 22:28 . drwxr-xr-x 16 BackupPC BackupPC 4.0K Apr 14 13:18 .. -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 14:28 localhost.101.tar.bz2.aa -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 16:16 localhost.101.tar.bz2.ab -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 17:39 localhost.101.tar.bz2.ac -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 18:54 localhost.101.tar.bz2.ad -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 20:04 localhost.101.tar.bz2.ae -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 4.2G Apr 14 21:14 localhost.101.tar.bz2.af -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 2.1G Apr 14 22:13 localhost.101.tar.bz2.ag -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 41K Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 14M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol000+01.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 28M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol001+02.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 56M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol003+04.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 112M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol007+08.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 223M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol015+16.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 445M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol031+32.par2 -rw-r- 1 BackupPC BackupPC 515M Apr 15 00:41 localhost.101.tar.bz2.vol063+37.par2 - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

[BackupPC-users] backing up vmware virtual machines
I now have several vmware virtual machines. How does BackupPC deal with them? For example if my virtual harddisk file changes slightly can the hardlinks / pooling feature deal with this, or will BackupPC backup the whole file again. At about 2GB per harddisk file this would be very costly spacewise. If BackupPC cannot deal with the incremental changes to the file, what would be the best way to work around this. I am thinking of making a one-off copy of all the files then using vmware's snapshots feature to deal with the incremental changes. Does anyone have experience doing this? If so please guide me. It is all new to me. Thanks. Krsnendu dasa BTW v3 is going really well for me. I love being able to edit the config files from the web page. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Avoiding long backup times
On 20/01/07, Holger Parplies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I read, that backuppc stores every identical file only one time. Basically true, but BackupPC needs to determine that the file is identical to something and to what. Sparing you the transfer (if possible with reasonable cost) is rsyncs job. Doing so comes at a cost in terms of CPU usage, so you've got the option of using tar if bandwidth is cheaper than CPU power. In your case, it obviously is not. [...] What happens with an unchanged file in a full backup? tar and smb will transfer it, rsync will not (presuming you mean unchanged as in same name, same content). For a changed file, rsync will try to speed up the transfer. If you append a few bytes to a large file, tar/smb will transfer the whole file (even on an incremental), while rsync will (basically) transfer some checksums and the few bytes only (on full and incremental backups). So... With tar and smb the file is transfered then it is checked to see if it is the same as a file already in the pool. If it is already in the pool a link is created and the copied file is deleted. Whereas rsync checks if the file is the same as another in the pool before transferring? Have I understood correctly? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I want to use the new filesystem layout with version 3 so I have moved my config files to /etc/BackupPC/conf renaming as necessary then created softlinks to them from the old location. These are the steps I am thinking of taking. Following this guide http://www.capefox.com/howto/JonosLinuxTopTips.htm 1. Install BackupPC 2.1.2 using yum install backuppc 2. Copy /etc/BackupPC/ to new server. 3. Upgrade to v 3 4. Mount /var/lib/BackupPC from old hard drive. Is this the right way to go about it? Correct order? Did I miss anything? - Take Surveys.

Re: [BackupPC-users] localhost backup problems Version 2.1.2
I can run the ssh rsync thing (sudo hasn't work for me yet) from the command
line but it doesn't work from the web page. I think it is because it asks if
I want to accept the security key and then asks for the root password.
How can I get around this so it will run from CGI interface?

you can also still use rsync with sudo and a script called rsyncSend.
See

Can I use rsyncd? What tricks would be needed for that?

[BackupPC-users] localhost backup problems Version 2.1.2
I am having problems backing up localhost. It only allows me to backup
directories and files with access set for all.
I have tried rsyncd. When I use rsync from my windows computer I can copy
files from any share, but when I try to use it from BackupPC it gives me
permissions problems.
Here is the xfer log:
Connected to localhost:873, remote version 29

Read EOF:

Child is aborting
Done: 0 files, 0 bytes
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share intranet)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share intranet)
When that didn't work I thought I would try tar. I tried the sudo tar trick
given in the documentation, but it just seems to freeze waiting for a
password or something.
I cut and pasted the command from the documentation
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item_%24conf%7btarclientcmd%7d
= '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
And I used visudo to add:
backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
The error message says:

When I run it from the command line it gives this message:

[BackupPC-users] version 3
I have set up 2.1.2 now. It seems to be working fine. I am just backing up 4 windows computers and a linux server. Is there any good reason for me to update to version 3. Or should I just be happy how things are. It took a lot of work to install 2.1.2 I am afraid upgrading will also take a lot of effort so I want to know if there will be any noticeable benefit. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Is there any advantage to using rsync for a localhost backup, or will tar be just as good or better.

[BackupPC-users] Which email program is best for backup?
It mentions in the documentation that outlook is inefficient as far as backuppc is concerned because everything is saved in one file so the whole file has to be backed up everytime. There is also the file locking problem. How does Thunderbird compare? Does it also save all its files in one file or does it break them up? Does it lock the files? Are there any other windows email programs that are better? I personally use gmail online, but the others in the office prefer to read their mail offline. Is there a recommended email program that is best for backuppc backups? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Which of any of that would you think could be causing the problem? Or do you think this isn't the issue. top shows my CPU pegged at 99% for a lot of the backup.

[BackupPC-users] installing rsync using cygwin with Nxclient installed.
I have installed Backuppc on Ubuntu 5.10 using #apt-get install backuppc (much easier than setting it up on K12LTSP. I found it really tricky setting up apache, cgi-perl etc. Too much to learn at once.) Anyway... installed it fine. Next working out how to install Rsync on Windows: I installed Cygwin with Rsync (2.6.6 and cygunsrv. (Using the bundled version didn't work because I already had NX client installed which uses cygwin1.dll and previously had installed cygwin also.) After installing Cygwin extracted the rsync.zip file from Backuppc to c:\rsync thenI copied Rsync and cygunsrv from cygwin onto of the ones in c:\rsync Then I set up the .conf and secrets file. Installed it by running service.bat from c:\rsync I tested it by connecting from ubuntu server using rsync -av [EMAIL PROTECTED]::testdir . (Substituting my own user, server etc. of course.) This worked!! :-) This will probably be good enough to use Backuppc... But when I run rsync from command prompt it still complains about multiple cygwin1.dll files.
