i run in the same behaviour this days using backuppc 2.12 and gnutar to backup
somes files on AIX (4.x and 5.x) systems.
I confirm the diagnostics of Craig about the --totals option, and i put here
somes tricks than can help :
1 /
the option --totals placed at the end of the commande ligne after the
--exclude command does not works on AIX system ( gnutar version tar (GNU tar)
1.15.1 )
so you have to modify the config.pl to move the --totals option before
--exclude like this :
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host'
. ' $tarPath -c -v --totals -f - -C $shareName+ ;'
2 /
am using this software in France and then there is trouble parsing the result
of the commande due to translation and "Locale" parameter
here is "french output" of tar command :
/usr/local/bin/tar -c -v -f mna.tar --totals Install*
InstallApache.sh
InstallAppliTomcat.sh
InstallTomcat.sh
Nombre total d'octets écrits: 30720 (30KiB, 392KiB/s)
so you can have to set the locale correctly to obtain correct answer, you do
this by adding something like LANGUAGE=EN before the tar commande so the
final $Conf{TarClientCmd} is :
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '$sshPath -q -x -n -l root $host'
. ' LANGUAGE=EN $tarPath -c -v --totals -f - '
. ' -C $shareName+ ;'
hope this can help anybody and perhaps Craig can add those tricks to the FAQ
of BackupPC online documentation.
bye.
Michael.
