Whenever I use these options, rsync "seems" to work and transfer
files.... but nothing ever seems to actually get written to the backup
dirs:
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [ # defaults, except I added the compress flags.
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'-D',
'--links',
'--hard-links',
'--times',
'--block-size=2048',
'--recursive',
'--checksum-seed=32761',
'--compress', # these two are suspicious
'--compress-level=9' # these two are suspicious
];
Taking out the --compress and --compress-level fixes it.
I've monitored with lsof and a manual backup with -v -- the remote rsync
opens the files, seems to transfer them (tcpdump shows lots of traffic),
but the file never seems to get put on disk. It's never opened on the
backuppc server (checked with lsof). Manual backup with -v shows no
files being processed, a "create d ." is shown, then nothing. I'd hate
to use ssh compression since I've read compression is more efficient at
the rsync level.
I don't believe my environment is unusual -- I changed the default
client to be rsyncd. Remote and local systems are both Linux, FC6.
Here's the rest of the config for this client:
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'BackupPC'
];
$Conf{RsyncdPasswd} = '*****';
$Conf{RsyncdClientPort} = '9001';
$Conf{ClientNameAlias} = 'localhost';
$Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} = '/etc/rjr/BackupPC/bin/open_ssh_tunnel';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'/var/mail/*.xspam',
'/var/mail/*.xraw',
'/proc/',
'/var/named/chroot/proc/',
'/var/spool/squid/',
'/sys/',
'/dev/',
'/oldboot/',
'*.iso',
'*.iso.*',
'/var/mail/*.xspam.*',
'/var/mail/*.xraw.*',
'/media/',
'/misc/',
'/net/',
'/mnt/',
'Thumbs.db'
]
};
$Conf{PingCmd} = '/etc/rjr/BackupPC/bin/ping_tcp_ssh';
$Conf{PingMaxMsec} = '10000';
$Conf{DumpPostUserCmd} = '/etc/rjr/BackupPC/bin/kill_ssh_tunnel';
$Conf{ArchiveComp} = 'bzip2'; # since the cpu time to compress will be
way shorter than the WAN time.
$Conf{CompressLevel} = '9'; # since the cpu time to compress will be way
shorter than the WAN time.
