Re: [BackupPC-users] BUG SOLUTION: Can't call method getStats on an undefined value
Just ran into the bug described back in 2011 by Jeffrey (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20017.43110.617411.92113%40consult.pretenderforum_name=backuppc-users). I had to reinstall BackupPC after an OS upgrade broke it (*sigh*) and my quick glance at the situation matches Jeff's. Just a heads-up.

Thank you for your bug solution. I am trying to run BackupPC on a DNS-323 NAS machine (it's a linux ARM machine) usinf Rsync and an rsync daemon. But firstly, it seems to me I need to solve the famous File::RsyncP - module doesn't exist problem, which crops up here. (BTW, can you direct me to a good link in that respect)? I have run BackupPC on a DNS-323 but I actually run it under debian -- if you look on the DNS-323 forum, you can see that I have posted on how one can reboot the machine into a debian kernel (not just a change root although that would work too). You can then use standard debian BackupPC packages. Note, however, that I found (and fixed) two bugs (in md5sum due to 32-bit alignment issues and also one in the Adler32 checksum computation in File::RsyncP) -- see the archives for the fixes. I would imagine that these bugs would also occur in the native DNS-323 kernel versions. The bugs are not fatal and don't destroy data but they do give the wrong md5sum names and checksums. -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense. And common sense. http://p.sf.net/sfu/splunk-d2dcopy2 ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
[BackupPC-users] BUG SOLUTION: Can't call method getStats on an undefined value
Whenever you are doing a full backup and DumpPreShareCmd fails, I get the
following error in my log:
Can't call method getStats on an undefined value at
/usr/share/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_dump line 1160.
I posted a similar bug report back in December, but now I believe I
have figured out the problem.
IF DumpPreShareCmd or DumpPreUserCmd fails, then the routine
BackupFailCleanup is called. In the case of a *full* backup, the
routine checks to see if there is a partial backup that needs to be
saved. In particular, the following 'if' statement (line 1160) is
executed:
if ( $nFilesTotal == 0 $xfer-getStats-{fileCnt} == 0 ) {
This gives the above error since $xfer is only defined *after* the pre
commands are executed and hence remains undefined when a pre command
fails.
A potential solution would be to change line 1159 from:
if ( $type eq full ) {
To
if ( $type eq full defined($xfer)) {
I am actually surprised that no one else has encountered this bug
since it should be rather common since if my analysis is correct then
it will occur *every* time one of the pre user commands fails on a full
backup.
