Re: [BackupPC-users] backup Windows10 clients

[Kent Tenney]

That did it.
Could have sworn I'd tried that ... evidently not!
(in my little head  /cygdrive implied a full cygwin install)

Thanks,
Kent

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup Windows10 clients

[Kent Tenney]

BackupPC 4.4,
cygwin-rsyncd-3.1.2.1

I've been trying for some time to get this working,
been unable to get past a chdir error

in C:\rsyncd\rsyncd.log:
 rsync: chdir //users/ktenney failed
: No such file or directory (2)

Backuppc:

@ERROR: chdir failed

I've tried every spelling of path = ... in rsyncd.conf
C:/Users/ktenney
/c/users/ktenney
...

How do I troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Kent

Re: [BackupPC-users] backup Windows10 clients

[Michael Stowe]

There are a few problems to solve:  open files, permissions, and the 
transfer itself.  The transfer, IMHO, is the easy part.


I've currently settled on a combination of Windows Linux subsystem for 
sshd, then escalate the privileges and transfer the shadow copies.  It 
has proven reliable and has the advantage of simply backing up 
*everything*, which may or may not be desirable for your use case.  At 
any rate, all of that's here:  https://u2182357.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=iokNmAdIkTJdVIFu9GuODbAWEHZ78jI1cPpfvthoVhBHLQyKok96mfgOq-2FTR1FWyKk6n_ukiVZyKkp5Cjvx76jsH50UVUlXkseXbKCRkPqSLeHuHGH3U7CETSxfS6wuOOBk00RieftFzsPNnDTjYfS42IEUdGSKphYfnfk8wl3FH6Osi6zjxGT82N0x-2FTukqLxieKoBKX0UIn96cTnptL9jCpF-2BERD-2FvHLCQZaDVdjnN5C1WLJk-2BaW7z3Y2chacY3FljcPX-2BouxZFLR2I135ZHHM05QnMMH7hxyljbbec9gTgRmieQU-2FFJkJY3adYVzc03XJW

I wonder if it is possible to use the linux subsystem feature of
windows 10? Wouldn't it be much easier to just have ssh and rsync
installed on a windows client (in linux subsystem). Then the
configuration of backuppc would be as simple as backing up a linux
host.

The recommended approach for Windows clients is installing cygwin-rsyncd
.

[BackupPC-users] backup Windows10 clients

[Sebastian Schieke]

Dear Backuppc Users,

we have been trying to backup all our Windows 10 notebooks with
backuppc. The problem is, that the waay, described in the documentation
is not working at all. IMHO the szenario with ad-group "backup
operators" seems to be depricated.

I wonder if it is possible to use the linux subsystem feature of
windows 10? Wouldn't it be much easier to just have ssh and rsync
installed on a windows client (in linux subsystem). Then the
configuration of backuppc would be as simple as backing up a linux
host.

Cheers

Sebastian
