  Our server runs only during daytime between 7am and 19 pm

 
 Let me see if I have this right...  Your server is only powered on from 
 7 am to 7 pm...
 
  From the command line all works fine.
 
  Using backuppc with Debian 4.0 all worked fine.
 
  What am I doing wrong?
 
 
  Thank you

  Here are some configuration entries of my config.pl which might be
  interesting:
 
  $Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
  15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23];
 
 
  $Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
  $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;
 
  $Conf{FullKeepCnt} = [3,1,1];
 
  $Conf{BackupsDisable} = 0;
 
  $Conf{BlackoutPeriods} = [
  {
  hourBegin =  7.0,
  hourEnd   = 19.5,

 
 ...your blackout period covers that whole time...
 
  weekDays  = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],

 
 ...at least on the week days, and you are wondering why BackupPC is not 
 working automatically?
 
  },
  ];

 
 Let me know if my understanding is not correct.  Otherwise, I'd suggest 
 reading the fine manual:

Hello Chris,

yes you are rigth.
So i have to disable the blackout period.

Is this possible?
Otherwise I will set it to a time where our server is off.

Thank you

Re: [BackupPC-users] backing up localhost

2007-05-14 Thread M. Sabath

Hi all,

I don't know what it was, but after deleted the contens of the pool
directory the backup of localhost works.

Since I only back up /etc I use the same method like with the clients
and connet to localhost through ssh.

 Empty folders and some few files do get backed up.

 but it doesn't help. The folders stay empty.
 
 
 I use Ubuntu 7.04 with backuppc 2.1.2

[BackupPC-users] rsync or tar?

2007-05-11 Thread M. Sabath
Hello to all,

I am new in this List.
We have a small office with 5 Mac OSX (10.4) and 3 PCs (XP).
We decided to back up with Backuppc.

The last few hours I searche the mailinglist and read a lot.

But I am still not sure if:

* it is better to use rsync or tar because of the
resource forks?

* I have to install additional software like xtar on the Macs?


* How would a sample.pl configurationfile look if I just want to back up
the folder /customers?

This I can find out by myself.

Thank you very much.
