Hello All, I am running backuppc version 3.0.0. It is running wonderfully except for one little hitch that I haven't been able to solve.
After I have added a new dhcp client I like to initiate an initial full backup. Sometimes I would like to initiate this from my desktop system through the web interface. But when I do, it returns an error stating that it can not find the client and that it must first be initiated from the client itself. I can log in to my server and run nmblookup with the clients netbios name as it is configured in the config.pl file for BPC. It finds the client. I can then always run the full backup from there with: BackupPC_dump -v -f <client> and it works well. But from the web interface it never works. Also if an existing client has been away for awhile, and it obtains a new dhcp lease, and I then try to initiate a backup from the web interface of my desktop system it fails, showing the old ip with the same message of running it from the client. Looking at the documentation, if the client is designated as dhcp, then it will loop through the dhcp range(s) and use nmblookup -A w.x.y.z to attempt name resolution. But then it is not clear if it will use the nmblookup with the clients netbios name to resolve the address. Since the dump command above works from the server, which is also the webserver, it leads me to believe that the cgi script isn't doing the lookup and is only looking at some last known ips for that client. All I see in the log file on the server is: CGI error: Can't find IP address for <client> My guess is I have simply overlooked a config entry or something, but I am not sure. Also, for dhcp clients that are online and do not lose their leases then I can initiate a full and incrementals from the web interface at my desktop. Ideas / Suggestions?
