Re: [BackupPC-users] new to BackupPC
Richard, Packages came from epel repository for CentOS 8. https://epel.hysing.is/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/b/ seems they where uploaded/created 2020-06-22 BackupPC x86_64 4.4.0-1.el8 epel 489 k BackupPC-XSx86_64 0.62-1.el8 epel 107 k Without doing a complete reinstall of OS I can‘t be sure if a reinstall of BackupPC will correct the problems. Might do that once I have tested the features of BackupPC more.

Re: [BackupPC-users] new to BackupPC
Hi all,
BackupPC install via EPEL
# rpm -qa | grep -i backup
BackupPC-4.4.0-1.el8.x86_64
BackupPC-XS-0.62-1.el8.x86_64
Also, dnf info backuppc does suggest looking at README.setup found under
/usr/share/doc/BackupPC/
Using su -s /bin/bash -l backuppc I can generate ssh keys and set up
passwordless logins to clients.
Still the wrong ownership of /var/lib/BackupPC is an issue with the install
packages.
Fixed with chown -R backuppc.root /var/lib/BackupPC , problem with that is
SELINUX, you will have problems with SELINUX and have to do some selinux stuff
for everything to work properly, and yes SELINUX should always be enabled.
For me the following worked.
# /sbin/restorecon -R -v /var/lib/BackupPC
# cat my-BackupPCAdmin.te
module my-BackupPCAdmin 1.0;
require {
type httpd_t;
type unlabeled_t;
class file { getattr read write };
class dir read;
}
#= httpd_t ==
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:dir read;
allow httpd_t unlabeled_t:file { getattr read write };
# semodule -X 300 -i my-BackupPCAdmin.pp
Will look into
https://kifarunix.com/how-to-install-and-configure-backuppc-as-a-backup-server-on-ubuntu-18-04/#backuplinuxwithbackuppc
for configuring clients with rsync

Hello!
Something's fishy there, I followed the same guide recently (although for
Ubuntu) and for me /var/lib/backuppc is owned by backuppc.
Looking at the Backuppc-Ubuntu guide there is a step adding a backuppc user
and setting a homedir as /var/lib/backuppc.
https://kifarunix.com/install-and-setup-backuppc-server-on-ubuntu-20-04/
Maybe the guide for CentOS needs to be tweaked a bit?
Otherwise, why not just chown the folder to the right permissions?

That doesn't look right. For my home install I see:
# ll | grep BackupPC
drwxr-x---. 7 backuppc root104 Jan 3 07:51 BackupPC
And in the spec file:
%attr(-,backuppc,root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/%{name}/
So the user at least should be backuppc. This has been the case since
before I started maintaining it.
Thanks,
Richard

Re: [BackupPC-users] new to backuppc
I finally setup my first winxp node with backuppc. Now i am facing some problem here. Node Name : a3520 DHCP : Selected When i do an nmblookup on the node, i get the following nmblookup a3520 querying a3520 on 10.211.55.255 10.211.55.3 a352000 Looking at backuppc interface, i see it uses nmblookup -A CLIENTNAME to do a lookup. I get the following results using -A switch nmblookup -A a3520 Looking up status of 0.0.0.0 No reply from 0.0.0.0 Now since the above doesn't return any results, backuppc eventually is not able to connect / backup the client. I tried to use -B switch as well for specifying broadcast address, however, even that didn't work.

Re: [BackupPC-users] new to backuppc
I'll also add that you can start backups from the command line on the backuppc server which allows backups to be scheduled via cron. You can mix and match schedulers too. You can use the built in scheduler for daily incrementals and use cron to schedule backups on specific days.

You are the man ;)
I had one mistake in the config file which and that is what you pointed out.
Fixing it, i now see the options. I tried to setup localhost itself for
backing up, and it sure looks nice.
Now i need to setup a windows host. I do have a question on that though, the
cygwin-rsync package from sf states it doesn't have ssh on it, however from
the howto it looks to me ssh would be required. Any ideas on that ?

hey - you was too fast :)
I just installed backuppc on my Fedora box and found this, too.
Just alter in config.pl the line $Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = '' to
$Conf{CgiAdminUsers} = 'backuppc' and the GUI works as expected.

I seems to work. I do have the following issues:
1. On the main web page I do not see the admin options
Have you added your username to $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}?
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#item__conf_cgiadminusers_
2. It is not clear from the web page how create an archive set. The
only option that I see is a full backup
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#archive_functions
says: BackupPC provides a menu that allows one or more hosts to be
archived. I can't find it either (never looked for it before). Maybe
someone else knows. Or you could use __INSTALLDIR__/
BackupPC_archiveHost from the command line or in a cron job.

You also have to configure apache to require authentication.

You have to add one or more 'archive hosts'.
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#configuring_an_archive_host
The concept is a little confusing because they look like backup targets
except that the configuration has the archive destination directives.
