Re: [BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3.3.0 does not traverse all hosts

[Craig Barratt via BackupPC-users]

The behavior shouldn't have changed.

Here are some things to check:

   - the BackupPC server LOG file - any messages for hosts that you expect
   should start?
   - the host LOG file for a host that doesn't start
   - have blackouts changed in some way?
   - if you manually start a backup on one of the "skipped" hosts, does it
   run (eg, perhaps ping returns different output now)?
   - you can manually run a backup on a "skipped" host (su backuppc;
   BackupPC_dump -v HOST) ; the -v option gives more output on what BackupPC
   is doing for that host, including why it might skip the host)

[BackupPC-users] BackupPC 3.3.0 does not traverse all hosts

[Adam Pribyl]

I am using BackupPC for many years, after update from 3.2.1 (Debian 7) to 
3.3.0 (Debian 8) the backuppc does not traverse all hosts during the night 
the same way as the previous version does i.e. I have a hosts that are not 
backed up for up to 3 days.


I thoroughly merged the backuppc config files (there were no significant 
changes). I do have:


$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6 ];
$Conf{MaxBackups} = 4;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = '0.97';

but the backups are started only at 01:00 roughly 20 of more than 60 
hosts. Sometimes something is started a 02:00 but the rest of the pool is 
not backuped up that day, even thou the backuppc wakes up at 03:00-06:00 
with all the previous jobs finished, but it does not continue with the 
rest of the pool. I have now every host backed up only once every 3 days, 
instead every day.


Host  ↓User #Full Full Age (days) Full Size (GB) Speed (MB/s) #Incr Incr Age (days) Last Backup (days) State #Xfer errs Last attempt 
bbb 	spr 	12 	5.1 	0.89 	0.22 	12 	0.2 	0.2 	idle 	3 	idle

ccc spr 12  15.14.820.4912  2.3 2.3 idle
3   idle
ddd spr 12  14.20.170.1912  1.3 1.3 idle
1   idle


Is there any known change in the behavior?


Thanks
