[BackupPC-users] localhost backup and IPV6
Having received valuable help from David While (the 2nd of his suggestions is still being tested but it is looking good) I thought I would give something back in return. This may already be well known to some but the material below might prove useful to others. The localhost.pl target should dump /etc by using tar transport. The new installation steadfastly refused to do so, saying that the system did not respond to pings. This is manifestly ridiculous! I remembered from solving an issue on SWMBO's Win-10 machine some months back that IPV6 and IPV4 do not always play well together. Sure enough, disabling IPV6 on the server made things start working again. This is an all-IPV4 network here so disabling IPV6 is no great hardship. https://itsfoss.com/disable-ipv6-ubuntu-linux/ shows how to do it on a Ubuntu system. The underlying issue ought to be fixed properly one day but this is a good enough work-around for me for the time being.

Now it works!
I just modified TarClientCmd to set the env variable:
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo
$tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
It looks like some recent system update broke the old behavior :-(
Thanks a lot, Nils and Adam!

[BackupPC-users] localhost backup error not clear
Hi, I was succesfully running BackupPC for almost one year to backup a Windows laptop (using smb) and the backup server itself to a second hard disk (using tar method). For an (until now) unknown reason, the Windows backups keep running fine but the localhost are now failing. I have deleted all the previous backups and started new full backups unsuccesfully obtaining only one partial backup. The scenario is that I got several tar shares in the localhost and when BackupPC finishes storing the first share, it outputs an error (see below) and aborts the process. The same happens when I rearrange the shares order to begin with another one. When running "BackupPC_dump -v -f localhost" I get these (only the last lines are shown: ** pool 644 0/04696 manpath.config pool 644 0/0 369 profile pool 644 0/0 20847 mime.types pool 644 0/0 215938 bash_completion tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 2340 filesExist, 8276122 sizeExist, 2241159 sizeExistComp, 2340 filesTotal, 8276122 sizeTotal Got fatal error during xfer (Total de bytes escritos: : %s (%s, %s/s): 10055680 (9,6MiB, 2,6MiB/s)) cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 localhost cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.024 ms --- localhost ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.024/0.024/0.024/0.000 ms cmdSystemOrEval: about to system /bin/ping -c 1 localhost cmdSystemOrEval: finished: got output PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from localhost (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.025 ms --- localhost ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.025/0.025/0.025/0.000 ms CheckHostAlive: returning 0.025 Backup aborted (Total de bytes escritos: : %s (%s, %s/s): 10055680 (9,6MiB, 2,6MiB/s)) dump failed: Total de bytes escritos: : %s (%s, %s/s): 10055680 (9,6MiB, 2,6MiB/s) link localhost ** How can I debug this further (as the "Got fatal error" is so "un-insightful")?

Re: [BackupPC-users] localhost backup not compressing
keep in mind that you might not want to compress your backups of localhost. at least not /etc. that way it will be easier to recover your configuration files, when your OS disk/partition dies or is corrupted. you won't need to configure backuppc in order to recover the config files that tell you how to configure backuppc. ;) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com - Take Surveys.

[BackupPC-users] localhost backup not compressing
I have a problem backing up my localhost, it is not compressing (as
expected).
the config file is:

#
$Conf{XferMethod}
= 'tar';
$Conf{BackupPCUser}
= 'root';
$Conf{ArchiveComp}
= 'gzip';
$Conf{CompressLevel}
= 3;
$Conf{TarShareName}
= ['/etc','/home','/var/samba','/var/lib/mysql','/var/www'];
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
= '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName'
. ' --totals';
do I need to set anything else?

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.

= '/usr/bin/sudo $tarPath -c -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
And I used visudo to add:
backuppc ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/tar
Hi, you've set visudo for the command /bin/tar but...
the error states that it is using /bin/gtar, which it gleans from $tarPath
The error message says:
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /home/School\ Intranet/ --totals
.
Xfer PIDs are now 28657,28656
Password:
tarExtract: Done: 0 errors, 0 filesExist, 0 sizeExist, 0 sizeExistComp, 0
filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
You'll need to match them up for it to work.
you can also still use rsync with sudo and a script called rsyncSend.
See
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html#how_can_client_access_as_root_be_avoided
for examples.

[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
Negotiated protocol version 26
Connected to module intranet
Sending args: --server --sender --numeric-ids --perms --owner --group
-D --links --times --block-size=2048 --recursive --checksum-seed=32761
--ignore-times . .
Checksum caching enabled (checksumSeed = 32761)
Remote[1]: rsync: link_stat "/." (in intranet) failed: Permission denied (13)
Xfer PIDs are now 28142
Remote[1]: rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23)
at main.c(615) [sender=2.6.8]
Read EOF:
Tried again: got 0 bytes
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}
= '/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:
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /home/School\ Intranet/
--totals .
Xfer PIDs are now 28657,28656
Password:

sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal
Tar exited with error 256 () status
Got fatal error during xfer (No files dumped for share /home/School Intranet/)
Backup aborted (No files dumped for share /home/School Intranet/)
When I run it from the command line it gives this message:
CheckHostAlive: returning 0.077
Running: /usr/bin/sudo /bin/gtar -c -v -f - -C /home/School\ Intranet/
--totals .

/home/School\\\ Intranet/ --totals .
Password:
It seems like it is waiting for a password or something. I tried entering
the root password but it didn't do anything.

I usually only back up /etc/ on the backup server itself (and I do keep the backup pool on a disk separate from the OS). For that, it's probably just as good to use tar. it's such a small amount of data that it really doesn't matter in either case. I use tar to back up the local data, unless there's a huge amount of it that doesn't change; just like the example in the Debian package. :) -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com - Take Surveys.

Is there any advantage to using rsync for a localhost backup, or will tar be just as good or better. I have heard that tar is faster than rsync and because there is no network traffic involved it might be better to minimize cpu overhead and use tar. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

if you'd like a certain backup job to go off at a certain time; use cron to
set it off. use a command something like this:
00 01 * * 1,3,4,5,6,7 backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg
backup host.example.com host.example.com backuppc 1
you *may* want to set
$Conf{FullPeriod} = -1;
in the per-machine config files, so that the backups don't go off
automatically; that they'll only go off when you click the button for that
in the web interface, or set them off with a cron job.

look into /etc/backuppc/config.pl, and the comments for $Conf{FullKeepCnt}

[BackupPC-users] localhost backup problems
I
have successfully been able to backup Windows XP machines via rsync to the
server but can’t seem to get the localhost backed up.
Following
is my localhost.pl
#
#
Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
#
$Conf{XferMethod}
= 'tar';
$Conf{TarClientCmd}
= '/usr/bin/sudo /etc/backuppc/tarCreate -v -f - -C $shareName+ --totals';
$Conf{TarShareName}
= ['/etc'];
$Conf{XferLogLevel}
= 1;
#EOF
I
believe I followed the FAQ correctly to setup sudo but I receive the following
message every time the server tries to backup:
Got fatal error during xfer (Tar exited with error 256 () status)
Suggestions?

[BackupPC-users] localhost backup not working
I can't get backuppc to exclude the files listed below, nor
can I get it to Purge the files from some bad backups.
My localhost.pl looks like:
#-
## Local server backup of /etc as user backuppc
##
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientPath} = '/usr/bin/rsync';
$Conf{RsyncClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo $rsyncPath $argList+';
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = ['/', '/boot', '/usr', '/var', '/home', '/data'];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/tmp', '/proc',
'/backup','/data/iso','/data/dvd'];
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [3.0];
#-- Pre and Post Commands
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount -r /boot';
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo /bin/umount /boot';
#-
Is there a way to force a Purge without deleting all the good files?
Thanks,
-Phil Carinhas
