[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 290329] [NEW] Simple Backup crashs silently if an io error occurs while doing backup and restoration
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: sbackup Simple Backup crashs silently if an io error occurs while doing backup and restoration: If an io error occurs an exception is raised and the creation of a backup fails silently. Same holds for the restore process. An io error happens for instance if a directory contains a 'socket'. SBackup tries to store this 'file' but the access fails. At least a message should appear to inform the user that an error happened! The better way would be to catch such non 'files' before storing them. Version: 0.10.4 and 0.10.5 from repos Ubuntu: 8.04 Remark: this bug does not exist in NSsbackup. ** Affects: sbackup (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: blocker -- Simple Backup crashs silently if an io error occurs while doing backup and restoration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to sbackup in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 299967] [NEW] Using regular expressions in NSsbackup does not work properly.
Public bug reported: Using regular expressions in NSsbackup does not work properly: This bug report collects some issues concerning the use of regular expressions for definition of exclusions within NSsbackup. These issues are: 1. it is possible to add an empty expression using the graphical configuration tool 2. if an invalid regular expression was created with a prior version of NSsbackup (or by editing the configuration file manually), the demon 'nssbackupd' fails with following exception: 2008-11-07 19:16:53,802 - DEBUG - BackupManager.py:__fillSnapshot(320) - getting exclude list for actual snapshot 2008-11-07 19:16:53,803 - ERROR - nssbackupd.py:__onError(216) - unexpected end of regular expression 2008-11-07 19:16:53,822 - ERROR - nssbackupd.py:__onError(217) - Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/nssbackup/nssbackupd.py", line 136, in run self.__bm.makeBackup() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/nssbackup/managers/BackupManager.py", line 173, in makeBackup self.__fillSnapshot(prev) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/nssbackup/managers/BackupManager.py", line 322, in __fillSnapshot rexclude = [ re.compile(p) for p in self.__actualSnapshot.getExcludes() if len(p)>0] File "/usr/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 188, in compile return _compile(pattern, flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/re.py", line 241, in _compile raise error, v # invalid expression error: unexpected end of regular expression This should be avoided. This bug is critical since the backup fails. 3. It is _not_ possible to remove ALL defined regular expressions in configuration GUI, i.e. defined regexps and defined filetypes. The very last expression is removed from the displayed list but not from the conf-file. 4. if an invalid regular expression was created with a prior version of NSsbackup (or by editing the configuration file manually) the expression is displayed in GUI and is saved again. This should be avoided. ** Affects: nssbackup Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: nssbackup regexp ui -- Using regular expressions in NSsbackup does not work properly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299967 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to NSsbackup. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 299967] Re: Using regular expressions in NSsbackup does not work properly.
Here is a patch to fix the reported issues above. Explanations on the modifications: === modified file 'src/nssbackup/util/__init__.py': * adding new functions to unify checking of expressions (maybe it is useful for further versions to create somekind of ConfigurationHandler class to encapsulate reading configuration files, checking of configuration values and setting of new ones - so this is a bugfix only for the current release candidate version) === modified file 'src/nssbackup/ui/SBConfigGTK.py': * adding a method for showing a dialogbox containing an errormessage * the regular expressions from the configuration file were checked before they are added to any lists; if they are invalid they were removed and the users gets informed. This fixes issue 4). * if a regular expression is added to the configuration, the resulting line gets stripped off leading and trailing ',' to avoid to unwanted adding of an empty expression * in method 'on_ex_delregex_clicked': the removal of an expression is done by the function mentioned above. The last expression didn't had a leading comma, so it was not removed. This fixes issue 3). * in method 'cell_regex_edited_callback': it was possible to clear the expression and therefore an empty expression was stored. The fix now checks not only for a valid expression but additionally for a not empty expression. This fixes issue 1). * while checking regular expression only 're.error' were catched now. === modified file 'src/nssbackup/managers/BackupManager.py': * while reading the configuration it is checked whether the expression is not empty and valid. If so it is added otherwise output a log message. This fixes issue 2). === modified file 'src/nssbackup/managers/SnapshotManager.py' * string formatting was errornous. Fixed without changing the content of translated string. This fixes bug Bug #299964: Exception 'TypeError' is raised if an error occurs while pulling a snapshot. ** Attachment added: "Fixes regular expressions issues." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19790796/regexp.peer.loz.patch -- Using regular expressions in NSsbackup does not work properly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299967 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to NSsbackup. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 303661] [NEW] In configuration tool: if specified target doesn't exist, the target directory will be created.
Public bug reported: In configuration tool: if specified target doesn't exist, the target directory will be created: this is a very undesired behaviour. Here is an example: I use an external harddisk for storage of backups. This disk is mounted under '/media/EXTHDD' and contains a directory for the backups. At first I select the full target directory in configuration gui: '/media/EXTHDD/backups'. On another day the external disk is not connected to the machine. I launch the configuartion tool to check the settings i've made. In the current implementation a new directory is created recursivly under '/media/EXTHDD/backups' though no 'EXTHDD' is present. Next day - without plugged in external disk: The backup process is invoked automatically by cron-demon. Due to the target directory exists and is fresh and empty, a full backup is performed. The internal harddisk, where the mountpoint '/media' is located, runs full, the backup is lost, I get disappointed etc. ** Affects: nssbackup Importance: Undecided Status: New -- In configuration tool: if specified target doesn't exist, the target directory will be created. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303661 You received this bug notification because you are a member of NSsbackup team, which is subscribed to NSsbackup. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team Post to : nssbackup-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~nssbackup-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Question #54062 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/54062 Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Hello Robert, since I don't speak french, I can only guess what your question is. However, I'll try to answer what I've understood: You cannot connect to the remote ftp site because you use an adress schema that does not match the schema assumed by the developers. I would not call it a bug, but a missing feature. Currently only ftp adresses that matches EXACTLY the schema 'ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/anything' are supported. The adress that you use cannot be parsed for several reasons: * you use a username without a password * you specify a port after the server delimited by a ':'. This is used to separate the username and the password in the original schema I've got problems while trying to connect to a remote site with the following adress schema: 'ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/my_remote_folder'. Here the problem is the multiple occurence of the '@' token. As you can see, the use of remote sites is quite half-baked. Due to the explanations above, it is not possible to use a ftp site with your described adress schema, at the moment. For me (in my development branch) I've fixed the mentioned issue and I'll try to fix your problem too and release it in version 0.2. Thanks a lot for using NSsbackup. Best regards.

How do you invoke NSsbackup? Do you use the menu entries and if so, what menu entries? Or from command-line? Are you invoke it as user or with super-user rights? 4. Are you able to access the backup target manually? Is it possible to write to it with the same user rights as you start NSsbackup with (create a file there for instance)? 5.

Moreover, if you know what you are doing, please try the following. If you don't feel so, just answer the questions above and we will look for another way. * start the application as usual (from the System menu) * disable any additional profiles within NSsbackup configuration GUI * create a source directory containg some testing files for backup (don't use important data); for example '~/nssbackup-test/should.be.backuped' * create a backup destination of your choice; you can use the default if you want * check any of the items in the configuration tool so it doesn't contain some rubbish settings * save the config file from the configuration gui * post the content of the config file from the '/etc/nssbackup.conf' here * start your backup from the configuration gui by pressing the 'Backup now' button Afterwards, please post the content of the log file here and check the backup destination folder.

Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #57582]: Can NSsbackup create backups on a file server that is locally mounted?
Question #57582 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/57582 Status: Open => Needs information Jean-Peer Lorenz requested for more information: There is something I don't understand so far: The posted log is created for the profile 'test2', but the config file is (if this file is '/etc/nssbackup.conf') for the default profile. Maybe I should explain the whole profile feature first: * There is always a so called default profile that (in this version) cannot be disabled. It configuration file is stored under '/etc/nssbackup.conf' for super-users and '~/.config/nssbackup/nssbackup.conf' for non-root users. * One can add profiles that are run separately from the default profile (and should not interfere with other profiles; but maybe that's the problem?) * Each profile got its own configuration file * These configuration files are stored in '/etc/nssbackup.d/' for super-users, otherwise in '~/.config/nssbackup/nssbackup.d/' * Active profiles are named 'nssbackup-profilename.conf; disabled profiles are named 'nssbackup-profilename.conf-disable' Known limitations: I experienced an issue related to the logging and profiles: The problem is, that all profiles use the same name for the log file. Since the user doesn't change the log directory for each profile to a different directory, log files were overwritten during the backup process. You can work around this by 1. not using profiles (at least for debugging purposes) or 2. set the log directory within the configuration tool to different destinations for each profile. Because of that I asked you to disable any additional profiles for the debugging. I fixed this for RC3 (not released), but the RC2 still contains the issue. Before we figure out what is the problem in your case, we need debugging output and logs. So, please re-check to use only the default profile for backing up a single file or directory to a local destination. Post the config file and the log file (including file path, name and content). If an exception is raised before the logging was set up it would be displayed in the shell (but wouldn't be logged into a file of course). As you are obviously familiar to the use of the shell invoke the backup process from the shell with following command: to run as root - uses the config file from '/etc...' and stores the log in '/var/...': sudo nssbackupd to run as non-root - uses the config file from '/.config/nssbackup...' and stores the log in '/.local/share/...': nssbackupd Check the output for any error messages (and post the whole output it here).

Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #57582]: Can NSsbackup create backups on a file server that is locally mounted?
Question #57582 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/57582 Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Ok, this looks good. There are actually 2 problems: 1. The logs didn't contain something useful due to the above described issue. If you'd disable additional profiles, the error would be logged in the log file. Anyway, the log issue is fixed for RC3. 2. The notification module, i.e. the module that displays nice popup windows for user's information, returns an error. This is not directly an issue of NSsbackup but we should handle the error. I will include this in RC3. Please do the following: 1. Since this is a real bug, create a bug report containing the post of the recent shell output. 2. Please check, if you've installed the package 'notification-daemon'. At last I want to answer your question concerning the auto-complete within the shell: There is a script '/usr/share/nssbackup/nssbackup' that is only used by cron daemon and should not be called by users. Furthermore there are the scripts: 'nssbackupd', 'nssbackup-config-gui' and 'nssbackup-restore-gui'. If you type 'nss' and expand it by pressing TAB, the bash is able to expand to 'nssbackup'. From here multiple choices exist. You could type a 'd' TAB to expand to 'nssbackupd' or '-c' TAB to expand to 'nssbackup-config-gui' etc. These scripts are found in the PATH if you press ENTER. So they were find by the shell. Always read carefully what commands to use ;) Thank you very much for your effort and check out the announcements. I'll fix it as soon as possible. Best regards.

Question #60065 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/60065 Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Hello Dan, NSsbackup knows 2 modes of execution: 1. execution with root privileges (e.g. for backing up system files from /etc...). If you want to run NSsbackup as root, you can do so by clicking the entry from the main menu 'System->Administration'. You may be asked for your password in that case. 2. execution as user without any superuser privileges (e.g. for backing up personal data from your /home directory...). NSsbackup is executed without root privileges if you start it from the menu via 'Applications->Utilities'. Since the schedule feature relies on cron/anacron and those are system daemons, it is neccessary to run NSsbackup as superuser to use scheduling. Moreover, because of that the 'Time' tab, for setting up scheduled backups is only visible if you run NSsbackup as superuser. Best regards.

[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 328899] Re: Should notify the user if backup cannot be made
Hey Endolith, thank you for taking the time reporting this bug. Unfortenately it is very unlikely to be fixed in sbackup since most of the man power is put into NSsbackup - an enhanced fork of sbackup project. The reported bug (and many more) is fixed in NSsbackup resp. doesn't exist there. So, please just give it a try and help making it better.

I really don't think so. In my opinion sbackup contains many (partly blocker) bugs and does not create reliable backups. This was the reason for me to turn to NSsbackup. >So, the question is, why is this listed as a conflict? Since both packages have the same purpose it is nor reasonable neither useful for `end-users` to install them beside each other. Main reason might be the backup format: NSsbackup is compatible with sbackup i.e. it uses mainly the same configuration file structure (that's actually all). But this does not mean that sbackup is able to handle data that was created by NSsbackup. >Are there really things that are incompatible between them? In fact, due to sophisticated features provided by NSsbackup here is a completelly different backup format in use. You can upgrade your existing backups with the help of NSsbackup, but there is no possibility to read such backups in sbackup again. So, in my opinion (and from the view of end-users) the packages conflict. >but should that not be up to the users (or distro builders) to decide? Of course, and the user can decide all the time. You can install NSsbackup (this removes sbackup) and test it, whether it meets your needs. As a smart user, one shouldn't do this with important data ;) The software is eventually crappy. Now, you can decide to use it or to go back to sbackup. If you decide to use NSsbackup you can manually upgrade your exsiting backups. If not, you can re-install sbackup (this removes NSsbackup) and everything is as it was before. >I'd therefore like to use sbackup, while working on nssbackup. No problem, you can do so. You can work on the source code and use sbackup. (You cannot and should not modify the files installed from a Debian package, of course!)

To finally resolve the problem, please try the following: * run NSsbackup as superuser (from menu Administration->nssbackup configuration) * open the profile manager and remove all profiles * unselect all entries (but after removal there shouldn't be left one) and close the profile manager * you should be back in the configuration window, check whether the current profile is the `Default profile` (it's written in the lower right corner of the window) * re-configure the default profile to your needs (do not add any profiles at this moment) * perform a backup using this default profile Hopefully this works. If so, you can try to add a second profile and configure this. An important note: At the moment it is not possible to deactivate the default profile.

Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #62529]: why conflict with sbackup?
Question #62529 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/62529 Status: Open => Answered Jean-Peer Lorenz proposed the following answer: Hey Anton, very nice. Help is always appreciated. Some final comments: >vanilla tar has an option for multi-volume backups NSsbackup supports uncompressed multi-volume backups create with TAR. However (AFAIK) does TAR currently not support compressed multi-volume backups and I think it takes quite a long time till this feature will be supported by TAR. For this reason I've created a blueprint (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+spec/use-dar-for-backups) for using DAR as a long-term goal. This would indeed solve quite a lot of problems/feature requests. But before starting any work on this I think the most important aim is to make NSsbackup a stable piece of software, to merge it with sbackup and to enhance all the documentation stuff. Many usecases can be well covered by using TAR. Moreover some modifications on the software's infrastructure will be necessary. >auto-detect the max filesize Yes, I think this would be useful and feasible but has low priority. Maybe you create a blueprint for this?! >verification of the backup This must be done next (with high priority). I hope, the TAR included `verify` functionality can be used (see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+spec/integrity-check), For translations have a look at NSsbackup's translations site within Launchpad. You can easyly contribute and you are allways asked to send suggestions for string replacements (better suited strings for the application - so anybody can understand what is meant by an option, text field etc.) Thank you for your interest.

[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 336999] Re: Installation failed from ppa for jaunty.
Hey Martin, thank you for reporting this issue. The problem is that the NSsbackup Python package could no be found. You are using Python 2.6, aren't you? I had a look at the installation files and found the origin of the problem: static references to Python 2.5 are used (e.g. in nssbackup- common.install: debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.5/site- packages/nssbackup/managers/*.py).

[Nssbackup-team] [Bug 337269] Re: deletes incremental backups left by sbackup
Hey Francesco, thank you for taking the time to report this issue. At the moment I cannot confirm the described behaviour. Please give some additional informations: * what version of NSsbackup did you use * what is your OS * what is your Python version * can you attach logfiles created during this incident Moreover, please describe excatly what you did and what you expected. I did a quick test to confirm your bug and experienced (with recent installation from PPA) the following: * I created some backups (full and inc) with sbackup * afterwards I performed backups with the same settings (include dirs, destination etc.) with NSsbackup -> the things worked for me as expected: I got a log message and a popup notification (see http://srv022.pixpack.net/20090304072929804_lozhchdiob.png) that informed me that there are old snapshots, but none of these were automatically upgraded nor deleted. I think this is the desired behaviour. Please post some informations, so we can turn out what the problem was in your case. Thank you very much. Regards.

Re: [Nssbackup-team] [Question #63183]: nssbackup 0.2 rc6 is uninstallable
Question #63183 on NSsbackup changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+question/63183 Status: Open => Needs information Jean-Peer Lorenz requested for more information: Hey Kai, thank you for trying NSsbackup on Fedora. Unfortenately the given informations avoid giving any answer. Please add the following informations: * from where installed you NSsbackup (source code?) * what commands did you enter, in what order? * what are actually going to do - installation or building a package? Nevertheless, I'll try to give some answers into the dark: 1. Make sure that the package `gettext` is installed. This package is used for compilation of language files. 2. Check the default version of Python Fedora uses. See the related bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/nssbackup/+bug/336999. Good luck. Regards.
