Hello everyone,
I have been trying diligently for a few days now to get backuppc
running on one of our servers here, and as far as I can tell I'm
successful at about %50 of this task ;) I have been following the
instructions line by line, and here is what my status is.
According to the logfile generated by BackupPC, it seem as though it
is actually performing the scheduled backups as expected, yet when I
use the CGI interface, I see no information whatsoever. It tells me:
(under Status)
Currently running jobs (none)
Failures that need attention (none)
(under Hosts Summary)
Hosts with good Backups
There are 0 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of:
* full backups of total size 0.00GB (prior to pooling and compression),
* incr backups of total size 0.00GB (prior to pooling and compression).
Hosts with no Backups
There are 0 hosts with no backups.
It looks to me like, according to the interface that nothing is going
on -- however, here is an excerpt from the log file it generates:
2005-08-25 01:00:00 Running 2 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..15 (out of 0..15)
2005-08-25 01:00:00 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127 (pid=3413)
2005-08-25 01:00:00 Running BackupPC_nightly 128 255 (pid=3414)
2005-08-25 01:00:00 Next wakeup is 2005-08-25 02:00:00
2005-08-25 01:00:00 admin : Use of uninitialized value in chdir at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/File/Find.pm line 742.
2005-08-25 01:00:00 admin : Use of chdir('') or chdir(undef) as

2005-08-25 01:00:00 admin1 : Use of uninitialized value in chdir at

2005-08-25 01:00:00 admin1 : Use of chdir('') or chdir(undef) as

ne 742.
2005-08-25 01:00:04 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Finished admin1 (BackupPC_nightly 128 255)
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127)
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Pool is 29.27GB, 3845 files (0 repeated, 0 max
chain, 24 max links), 2787 directories
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Cpool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB
2005-08-25 01:00:04 Cpool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain,
0 max links), 1 directories
It seems to get some errors in there, but it is obvious that it's
moving some data, not only because of the numbers in there but also
because it's directory has used up about 150 gigs of data, which is
about what I would expect for the jobs I gave it.
Here is an excerpt from one of the host-specific logs:
2005-08-23 11:00:00 full backup started for share C$
2005-08-23 15:31:37 full backup 0 complete, 49868 files, 75310495739
bytes, 28 xferErrs ( bad files, bad shares, 28 other)
2005-08-24 11:00:00 incr backup started back to 2005-08-23 10:00:00 for share C$
2005-08-24 11:03:22 incr backup 1 complete, 1391 files, 553332532
bytes, 37 xferErrs ( bad files, bad shares, 37 other)
So again, it seems to be working. I guess what I am wondering is this:
has anyone ever observed that for some reason, the daemon portion is
actually running as expected, and you are also able to access the CGI
interface which appears to be working, but that the two of them are
not interfacing somehow? I haven't studied the internals enough to
know how this program really works, but it looks to me like that's
whats happening.
Aside from that, do the errors in the first log excerpt make sense to anyone?
Thank you very much for any help you have, and I apologize for asking
what is probably a very lame question.
